Developing semi-empirical ab initio based potentials in materials modeling
Ab initio calculation based on density function theory (DFT) is an accurate and efficient method for modelling material properties. It is performed by solving the Shrödinger equations with a few assumptions to obtain the physical properties of the system. It is very computational demanding when dealing with large systems or longtime simulations. Developing empirical potentials on the basis of a...
متن کاملAtomistic Measures of Materials Strength
We examine the role of atomistic simulations in multiscale modeling of mechanical behavior of stressed solids. Theoretical strength is defined through modes of structural instability which, in the long wavelength limit, are specified by criteria involving elastic stiffness coefficients and the applied stress; more generally, strength can be characterized by the onset of soft vibrational modes i...
متن کاملAtomistic Simulations of Activated Processes in Materials
Activated processes in materials are important for many of the properties that make them function. Batteries and catalysts are examples for which understanding how the component materials function on a timescale of milliseconds to seconds is critical to making improvements in a rational way. Modeling materials over these long timescales, relative to the timescale of atomic vibrations, is one of...
متن کاملA semi-empirical approach to projecting future sea-level rise.
A semi-empirical relation is presented that connects global sea-level rise to global mean surface temperature. It is proposed that, for time scales relevant to anthropogenic warming, the rate of sea-level rise is roughly proportional to the magnitude of warming above the temperatures of the pre-Industrial Age. This holds to good approximation for temperature and sea-level changes during the 20t...
متن کاملHybrid atomistic-coarse-grained treatment of multiscale processes in heterogeneous materials: a self-consistent-field approach.
A treatment of multiscale quasistatic processes that combines an atomistic description of microscopic heterogeneous ("near") regions of a material with a coarse-grained (quasicontinuum) description of macroscopic homogeneous ("far") regions is presented. The hybrid description yields a reduced system consisting of the original atoms of the near regions plus pseudoatoms (nodes of the coarse-grai...
