Beschreibung
The Handbook of Materials Modeling is a five-volume major reference for computational material scientists, serving a steadily growing community at the intersection of two mainstreams of global research, materials technology and computational science. Since its first publication in 2006 it has set a standard toward defining the broad community and stimulating its growth. The second edition reflects the significant developments that have occurred in all aspects of computational materials research, ranging from fundamental concepts to increasingly more realistic models and more powerful multiscale simulation methods in the intervening 10 years. This new edition has a three-fold objective: - Strengthen the foundational attributes of materials theory, modeling and simulation wherever appropriate.- Broaden the scope of HMM to include challenges and opportunities in emerging areas of interdisciplinary interest.- Focus on applications to demonstrate and expand on the capabilities of current models and simulation methods. The Handbook is organized in two parts. This is Part II: Applications. This part is focused on materials of current and emerging interest. By applications we mean new studies showing, in particular, the impact of diverse computational methods on understanding the physics of complex new unconventional materials, and presenting a critical assessment of algorithms and models in predicting the behavior of real materials.
Autorenporträt
Wanda Andreoni is Emeritus Professor of Physics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL). She has been involved in Computational Materials Science since the early days of her research activity, in both academic and industrial institutions, covering also teaching, organizational, and research managing positions. She is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. She was Zernike Professor at the Groningen University (NL) (2011) and CECAM Director (2009-2012). Regarding editorial work, she was Coeditor of Europhysics Letters (1990-1993) and Editor of The Chemical Physics of Fullerenes 10 (and 5) Years Later, NATO ASI Series E: Applied Sciences, Vol. 316 (Kluwer, 1996), and of The Physics of Fullerene-Based and Fullerene-Related Materials, Series on the Physics and Chemistry of Materials with Low-Dimensional Structures, Vol. 23 (Kluwer, 2000).Sidney Yip immigrated to the USA from China in 1950 at age 14. After receiving degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Nuclear Engineering from the University of Michigan and spending two postdoctoral years at Cornell University, he joined the Nuclear Engineering Faculty at MIT in 1965. From early research in theoretical studies of particle and fluid transport, he became broadly involved in atomistic modeling and simulation of materials. He edited the first edition of the Handbook of Materials Modeling as well as Spectroscopy in Biology and Chemistry: Neutron, X-Ray, Laser (1974) and Materials Interfaces: Atomic-Level Structure and Properties (1993). Other books include the monographs, Foundations of Neutron Transport Theory (1967), Neutron Molecular Spectroscopy (1968), and Molecular Hydrodynamics (1980), and a text, Nuclear Radiation Interactions (2014). He received Guggenheim Fellowship, US Senior Scientist Prize of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Distinguished Alumnus Award of the University of Michigan, and the Robert Cahn Award. A Fellow of the American Physical Society, he became Professor Emeritus in 2009.
