Linear-scaling first-principles calculations of entire polar semiconductor nanorods

This thesis describes a study of polar semiconductor nanorods using first-principles quantum-mechanical computer simulations. Semiconductor nanostructures in solution are a very exciting class of material due to our growing ability to manipulate their shapes, sizes and the superstructures they assem...
