Abstract

MedeA is a computational software which is used for the simulation to design and analyse different kinds of materials. Due to attractive optical, electrical and thermal properties such as antiglare and antireflective coatings, thermal insulation, silica nanoparticles have a wide range of applications in the field of semiconductor industry and medical science. In the present work we simulate the XRD , Band structure , Optical spectra and Density of state for silica nanoparticles by using MedeA software.
