The accurate theoretical methods for describing the condensed matter
have entered in a considerably advanced stage. Is it now reasonable
to address real problems such as interpreting experimental data, testing
assumptions about surface reaction mechanisms, and even proposing new
experiments.
Recent applications in material sciences by the Napoli's group will be revised:
- electronic properties and reactivity of reduced SnO surfaces ;
- heterogeneous catalysis: materials for Ziegler-Natta process ;
- molecular materials: electronic and spectroscopic properties ;
- atmospheric heterogeneous catalysis: the role of soot.
