A finite-size statistical mechanics approach to quantum confinement effects on nanoscale energy-related properties

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The effects of quantum confinement on the energy-related properties of nanoscale materials and structures are critical for understanding their electronic, optical, and thermal behaviors. This study investigates these effects through a finite-size statistical mechanics framework, integrating theoretical analysis with experimental validation. By examining key material systems, this work provides insights into the mechanisms governing energy-related behaviors at the nanoscale, with implications for advanced applications in energy storage, conversion, and photonics.
