Nanostructured materials are not perfect crystals. They exhibit different types of structural disorder that influence the material's behaviour, also at the macroscopic level. These structural deformations can be quantified through strain fields, which propagate over the whole material. This project aims to determine strain fields through existing and novel computational modelling techniques. This way, it will become possible to derive design rules with the aim to understand how structural disorder introduces strain fields, and how this impacts the material's macroscopic behaviour.
