Kratschmer and Huffman's revolutionary discovery of a new solid phase of carbon, solid C60, in 1990 opened the way to an entire new class of materials with physical properties so diverse that their richness has not yet been fully exploited. Moreover, as a by-product of fullerene research, carbon nanotubes were later identified, from which novel nanostructures originated that are currently fascinating materials scientists worldwide. Rivers of words have been written on both fullerenes and nanotubes, in the form of journal articles, conference proceedings and books. The present book offers, in...

This Handbook contains a set of articles introducing the modeling and simulation of materials from the standpoint of basic methods and studies. The intent is to provide a compendium that is foundational to an emerging ?eld of computational research, a new discipline that may now be called Compu- tional Materials. This area has become suf?ciently diverse that any attempt to cover all the pertinent topics would be futile. Even with a limited scope, the present undertaking has required the dedicated efforts of 13 Subject Editors to set the scope of nine chapters, solicit authors, and collect the...

The Handbook of Materials Modeling is a four-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...
