Theoretical developments towards
the dynamic and magnetic properties of nanostructures
in surfaces and low dimensional systems

In this talk I shall present work carried out in our group at the Université du Maine in Le Mans, France, concerning the development of theoretical tools to study the vibration and magnetic properties of nanostructures in surfaces and in low dimensional systems. The calculations yield results such as the spectral densities on nanostructures, and the phonon and magnon transmission and reflection cross sections from embedded nanostructures in wave guides. I shall also consider the influence of friction in the flow of complex fluids carrying macromolecules in bounded nanochannels.
