Mike Finnis

Interatomic Forces in Condensed Matter

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

There is a continuing growth of interest in the computer simulation of materials at the atomic scale, using academic and commercial computer programs. Such programs work with very diverse models of the inter-atomic forces. This book explains how these are constructed, their scientific basis, and the approximations that are made in deriving them.
