Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - A central tenet of materials analysis is the structure-property paradigm, which proposes a direct connection between the geometric structures within a material and its properties. The increasing power of high-speed computation has had a major impact on theoretical materials science and has permitted the systematic examination of this connection between structure and properties. In this textbook, Rob Phillips examines various methods for studying crystals, defects, and microstructures, techniques that have made such computations possible. He also presents recent efforts to treat problems involving either multiple spatial or temporal scales simultaneously. Detailed case studies illustrate general principles as well as their applications to current research problems.

Recensione

'It covers an extremely wide range of topics including good case studies of new systems such as nanotubes. It succeeds in convening modelling ideas from both a physics and materials science point of view. ... This book's distinct feature, which makes it attractive as a general reference book, is the inclusion of a lot of the author's personal opinions, and makes it stand out from most classroom or course textbooks. To support this, the style of writing is informal, easy to read, and sometimes fun.' Dr Wei Sha, Materials World

'... a timely and relevant postgraduate level text covering an unusual and exciting new topic ...'. Joan Halfpenny, Chemistry in Britain

'I would recommend it to anyone wishing to get both a broad overview of the intersection of theoretical condensed matter physics with modern materials science, and some good pointers toward future research directions.' Nigel Goldenfeld, Physics Today
