Atomic Level Simulations of Materials and Molecules
Atomic Level Simulations of Materials and Molecules
Atomic Level Simulations of Materials and Molecules
This lecture note
covers the basics of the quantum mechanics, force fields, molecular dynamics,
Monte Carlo, statistical mechanics, etc. required to understand the theoretical
basis for the simulations while the homework applies these principles to
practical problems.
This note explains the
following topics:The Interaction between two Molecules, Interaction of
Macroscopic Bodies, The Effective Interaction between two Molecules,
Electrostatic Forces.
This lecture note explores a wide range of techniques and applications in
molecular modeling and computational chemistry. Topics covered includes: ab
Initio and Semi-Empirical Quantum Mechanics, Molecular Mechanics and Dynamics
Simulation, Electrostatics, Coarse Graining Biomolecular Structure Prediction,
Advanced Electrostatics for Force Fields, Molecular Dynamics Simulation, Monte
Carlo Methods.
