Atomic-Scale Simulations
|
THE OBJECTIVE
is to learn and apply fundamental techniques used in (primarily classical)
simulations in order to help understand and
predict properties of microscopic systems in materials
science, physics, chemistry, and biology.
THE EMPHASIS will be on connections between the simulation results and real properties of materials (structural or thermodynamic quantities), as well as numerical algorithms and systematic and statistical error estimations. FOR WHOM? This class is oriented for the first-year graduate or advanced undergraduate. It connects atomistics to observables (rather than investigates, e.g., cellular automata type approaches) and introduces all necessary concepts. A course project is required, rather than a final exam (see Projects link). |
