Research
Interests Studies of
various properties of nanoparticles. These include the structural,
thermal, electronic and magnetic properties of pure metallic
nanoclusters and nanoalloys. The main goal is to understand the
mechanism of the melting and magnetism of nanoparticles, as well as
their applications to the industries. |

Undergraduate
Projects Molecular
Dynamics Simulation of Finite Size Graphene using LAMMPS -
To study the
thermal properties of finite size grapheme and to determine the melting
points of graphene in various sizes. Final
Year
Project
Molecular
Dynamics Simulation Phase Coexistence Curve and Properties of
Lennard-Jones Fluid -
Supervisor: Dr. Yoon Tiem Leong - This project evaluated the methods to
investigate the phase transition and properties of Lennard-Jones (LJ)
fluid. The system investigated in this work is simulated by using
temperature-quench molecular dynamics (TQMD) to study its phase
transition. The properties of LJ fluid is then studied by investigating
the relationship between various state parameters. |

Graduate
Projects Structural,
Thermal and Magnetic Properties of Rhodium Clusters -
The 4d-element Rhodium (Rh) is non-magnetic in the bulk form
but it becomes magnetic in the form of a nanoscale-cluster. The
ground-state configuration of nanocluster is the origin of the
size-dependence of its electronic and chemical properties, including
the magnetic property. Once the ground-state structure of a given
cluster is known, the thermal properties of the cluster can be
investigated via molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, while the magnetic
property can be determined via first-principle density functional
theory (DFT). |
