Computational Materials Science From Basic Principles to Material Properties / edited by Wofram Hergert, Arthur Ernst, Markus Däne.

Computational Physics is now a discipline in its own right, comparable with theoretical and experimental physics. Computational Materials Science concentrates on the calculation of materials properties starting from microscopic theories. It has become a powerful tool in industrial research for desig...
