Atomistic Simulations of Glasses : Fundamentals and Applications

property data provided.Simulations of glass surfaces and surface-water reactions are also covered. Atomistic Simulations of Glasses includes multiple case studiesand addresses a variety of applications of simulation, from elucidating the structure and properties of glasses foroptical,electronic,architecture applicationstohigh technology fields such asflat paneldisplays, nuclear waste disposal, and biomedicine. The book also includes: A thorough introduction to the fundamentals of atomistic simulations, including classical,ab initio,Reverse Monte Carlosimulationand topological constraint theorymethods Important ingredients for simulations such as interatomic potentialdevelopment,structural analysis methods,and property calculations are covered Comprehensive explorations of the applications of atomistic simulations in glassresearch, including the history of atomistic simulations of glasses Practical discussions of rare earth and transition metal-containing glasses, as well as halide and oxyhalide glasses

In-depth examinations ofglass surfaces andsilicate glass-water interactions Perfect for glass, ceramic,and materials scientists and engineers, as well as physical, inorganic, and computational chemists,Atomistic Simulations of Glasses: Fundamentals and Applications is also an ideal resource for condensed matter andsolid-statephysicists,mechanical and civil engineers, and those working with bioactive glasses.Graduate students, postdocs,senior undergraduatestudents,andothers who intend to enter the field of simulations of glasses would also find the book highly valuable.
