کتاب راهنمای مدلسازی مواد، ویرایش دوم، یک مرجع اصلی شش جلدی است که به جامعهای در حال رشد پیوسته در تقاطع دو جریان اصلی تحقیقات جهانی: علم محاسبات و علم و فناوری مواد خدمت میکند. این نسخه جدید به طور گسترده گسترش یافته، تحولات قابل توجهی را در تمام جنبههای تحقیقات مواد محاسباتی در دهه گذشته نشان میدهد، که شامل پیشرفت در شبیهسازیها در مقیاسهای چندگانه و مدلهای واقعیتر مواد است. از نظر موضوعی به دو مجموعه وابسته به یکدیگر - "روش ها: تئوری و مدل سازی (MTM)" و "کاربردها: مواد فعلی و نوظهور (ACE)" - این کتاب راهنما کل محدوده را از نظریه و روش ها تا شبیه سازی ها و برنامه ها اجرا می کند. خوانندگان از پوشش عمیق طیف روششناختی گستردهای که از شبیهسازی اتمی پیشرفته رویدادهای نادر تا استراتژیهای هوش مصنوعی مبتنی بر دادهها برای انفورماتیک مواد در مجموعه MTM، و همچنین تأکید پیشرو بر مواد با اهمیت اجتماعی بسیار گسترده، بهره میبرند. به عنوان فتوولتائیک و اکسیدهای مرتبط با انرژی، و کاربردهای پیشرفته برای مواد برای دستگاه های اسپینترونیک، گرافن، سیمان و شیشه ها در مجموعه ACE. پوشش کامل و به هم پیوسته روشها و کاربردها، همراه با مجموعهای از ویراستاران و نویسندگان تحسینشده بینالمللی، جایگاه کتاب مدلسازی مواد را بهعنوان منبعی پایدار از یادگیری و الهام برای جامعه جهانی دانشمندان مواد محاسباتی تضمین میکند.
The Handbook of Materials Modeling, 2nd edition is a six-volume major reference serving a steadily growing community at the intersection of two mainstreams of global research: computational science and materials science and technology. This extensively expanded new edition reflects the significant developments in all aspects of computational materials research over the past decade, featuring progress in simulations at multiple scales and increasingly more realistic materials models. Thematically separated into two mutually dependent sets – “Methods: Theory and Modeling (MTM)” and “Applications: Current and Emerging Materials (ACE)” – the handbook runs the entire gamut from theory and methods to simulations and applications. Readers benefit from its in-depth coverage of a broad methodological spectrum extending from advanced atomistic simulations of rare events to data-driven artificial intelligence strategies for materials informatics in the set MTM, as well as forefront emphasis on materials of far-ranging societal importance such as photovoltaics and energy-relevant oxides, and cutting-edge applications to materials for spintronic devices, graphene, cement, and glasses in the set ACE. The thorough, interconnected coverage of methods and applications, together with a line-up of internationally acclaimed editors and authors, will ensure the Handbook of Material Modeling’s standing as an enduring source of learning and inspiration for a global community of computational materials scientists.
