Summary

The modelling of light–matter interactions at nanometre length scales is becoming increasingly important in modern nanoelectrochemistry. The ability to fabricate extremely sophisticated nanostructures in the laboratory that cannot be described analytically has driven the need for modelling. Advances in scientific computation techniques, and the availability of computing resources have also led to cost savings in several industries, such as the automotive industry. One of the most important considerations for choosing the optimal numerical technique for a problem is symmetry. This rather old-fashioned consideration has tremendous effects on both the accuracy and the efficiency of numerical methods. We show how symmetry considerations play a major role in modern scientific computation. Examples of supported and unsupported quantum dots and quantum dot clusters are presented.
