Quantum-classical calculations of the nanomechanical properties of metals
PublikacjaTradycyjnie symulacje komputerowe układów w skali atomowej prowadzone są przy użyciu klasycznej metody dynamiki molekularnej (MD) bądź kwantowych metod ab initio. Główną wadą ujęcia klasycznego jest jego empiryczna natura, a co za tym idzie - niewielka przenośność, jego prostota natomiast pozwala na przeprowadzanie symulacji układów zawierających miliony atomów. W wyniku zastosowania metod kwantowych otrzymuje się bardziej wiarygodne...
