دانلود کتاب Computer simulations of molecules and condensed matter from electronic structures to molecular dynamics

Introduction to computer simulations of molecules and condensed matter -- Quantum chemistry methods and density-functional theory -- Pseudopotentials, full potential, and basis sets -- Many-body Green function theory and the GTV approximation -- Molecular dynamics -- Extension of molecular dynamics, enhanced sampling and the free-energy calculations -- Quantum nuclear effects"This book provides a complete introduction to the methods used in computational condensed matter. A wide range of electronic structure theories are introduced, including traditional quantum chemistry methods, density functional theory, many-body perturbation theory, and more. Molecular dynamics simulations are also discussed, with extensions to enhanced sampling and free-energy calculation techniques including umbrella sampling, meta-dynamics, integrated tempering sampling, etc. As a further extension beyond the standard Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics, some simulation techniques for the description of quantum nuclear effects are also covered, based on Feynman's path-integral representation of quantum mechanics. The book aim to help beginning graduate students to set up a framework of the concepts they should know before tackling the physical/chemical problems they face in their research"  Read more...
