In particular, computer simula­ tion has become a very important tool in this field since it is a bridge between theory, which is often limited by its oversimplified models, and experiment, which is limited by the physical parameters. Computer simulation, on the other hand, can partially fulfill both of these paradigms, since it is based on theories and is in fact performing experiment but under any arbitrary, even unphysical, conditions. This progress is indebted to advances in computational physics and chem­ istry. Ab initio methods are being used widely and frequently in order to determine the electronic and\/or atomic structures of different materials. The ultimate goal is to be able to predict various properties of a material just from its atomic coordinates, and also, in some cases, to even predict the sta­ ble atomic positions of a given material. However, at present, the applications of ab initio methods are severely limited with respect to the number of par­ ticles and the time scale of dynamical simulation. This is one extreme of the methodology based on very accurate electronic-level calculations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52616834744593,"sku":"NLS9783642641558","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783642641558.jpg?v=1761528513"},{"product_id":"nano-and-micromaterials-book-kaoru-ohno-9783540745563","title":"Nano- and Micromaterials","description":"In nanotechnology to date, much emphasis is placed on the creation of the nanostructures by means of micro- and atomic manipulations. This research ?eld has been highly respected and promoted by the society, polytics, and economics. Rapid progress in this ?eld has been greatly stimulated by more fundamental study on nano- and micromaterials. In this respect, the sci- tists and engineers in di?erent ?elds of physics, chemistry, materials science, and information technology including experimentalists, theorists, and also researchers doing computer simulations have collaborated to form a new interdisciplinary ?eld. This book covers the recent advances in this growing research ?eld, in particular, those developed mainly in the interdisciplinary research project named Materials science for nano- and microscale control: Creation of new structures and functions, which was formed in 2004 in the Graduate School of Engineering of Yokohama National University in collaboration with the Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University and other universities. The topics described in this book are as follows.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52674930508049,"sku":"NLS9783540745563","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783540745563.jpg?v=1762300737"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-kaoru-ohno.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
