Atomistic Computer Modeling of Materials: Course Description
The 'Atomistic Computer Modeling of Materials' OpenCourseWare, written and taught by MIT professors Gerbrand Ceder and Nicola Marzari, is offered to graduate students within the school's Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Professor Ceder is the R.P. Simmons Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, and Professor Marzari is an Associate Professor in Computational Materials Science at MIT. Topics studied include energy models (classical potentials to first-principles methods), accuracy and errors of quantitative predictions, sampling (Monte Carlo), phrase and free energy transitions and transport and fluctuations properties. Labs support resources and solutions related to classical force fields, Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics and electronic-structure approaches simulations. The format of the course is lectures and labs.
Resources in 'Atomistic Computer Modeling of Materials' OpenCourseWare available for download include 20 lectures (some with annotated slides) and five labs plus related resources (some have answers) all in .pdf format and 19 lecture videos playable on RealOne Player software. There is also a list of recommended texts. The course also offers Quantum-Espresso GNU Open Source simulation software (quantum mechanical).
