Methods in Molecular Modelling: Methods, Algorithms and Implementation by David O. Scanlon Pdf
Methods in Molecular Modelling: Methods, Algorithms and Implementation offers a brief, concise and functional overview of methods available for materials modeling, enabling readers to identify the right level of theory for their calculations. It explains the pros and cons of each method, giving the reader an understanding for which method and which level of theory to apply to get trustable results for the minimum computational cost. It serves as the foundation volume for a series which will explore different application areas in detail.The theoretical foundations of methods for modeling molecules and materials are complex, and in addition to physics and chemistry, they also require a solid understanding of mathematics and programming. Beginners in this area will appreciate helpful case studies and examples of application in this book, rather than the derivation of complicated equations. Through a balanced ratio of theoretical background of methods and practical application of these methods to representative problems from physics, chemistry, and materials science, this book teaches how to perform calculations that enable them to design new materials. More experienced researchers will also appreciate the practical applications described that can be used to prepare lectures.
