Understanding Molecular Simulation by Daan Frenkel
Computer simulators are continuously confronted with questions concerning the choice of a particular technique for a given application. A wide variety of tools exist, so the choice of technique requires a good understanding of the basic principles. This title explains the physics behind the 'recipes' of molecular simulation for materials science.
"…brilliantly maintains a balance between explaining the physical phenomena and performing computationsIts marvelous writing style invites scientists and students to deepen their knowledge of MD simulations." --ComputingReviews.com, January 11, 2013 "... this book brilliantly lays down the scientific foundations of the simulational approach ..." --Prof. Kurt Binder in Physics World, 1997 "... a treasure. The book is a marvellous mix of just enough formalism with an informal and readable style, sufficient detail to understand methodological advances, appropriate mathematics ..." --Prof. Mark A. Ratner in Physics Today, 1997
Daan Frenkel is based at the FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics and at the Department of Chemistry, University of Amsterdam. His research has three central themes: prediction of phase behavior of complex liquids, modeling the (hydro) dynamics of colloids and microporous structures, and predicting the rate of activated processes. He was awarded the prestigious Spinoza Prize from the Dutch Research Council in 2000. Berend Smit is Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Faculty of Science, University of Amsterdam. His research focuses on novel Monte Carlo simulations. Smit applies this technique to problems that are of technological importance, particularly those of interest in chemical engineering.
