This book summarizes the state of the art in the theoretical modeling of
inorganic nanostructures. Extending the first edition, published in
2015, it presents applications to new nanostructured materials and
theoretical explanations of recently discovered optical and
thermodynamic properties of known nanomaterials. It discusses the
developments in theoretical modeling of nanostructures, describing
fundamental approaches such as symmetry analysis and applied calculation
methods. The book also examines the theoretical aspects of many
thermodynamic and the optical properties of nanostructures. The new
edition includes additional descriptions of the theoretical modeling of
nanostructures in novel materials such as the V2O5 binary oxide, ZnS,
CdS, MoSSe and SnS2.
