The Structure of Amorphous Materials using Molecular Dynamics: Methodology and applications book pdf download. This reference text demonstrates how molecular dynamics (MD) can be used in practice to achieve a precise understanding of structural properties for systems devoid of any order beyond the first interatomic distances. The reader will learn the basic principles underlying molecular dynamics with a special emphasis on first-principles methodology.
A roadmap of correct and efficient use is also provided using clear examples. The book concludes with a set of results that exemplify the level of accuracy and information inherent in (first-principles) molecular dynamics methodology when applied to amorphous and glassy materials.
