Motivation of the Workshop
Materials science is a highly interdisciplinary field. It is devoted to the understanding of the relationship between (a) fundamental physical and chemical properties governing processes at the atomistic scale with (b) typically macroscopic properties required of materials in engineering applications. For many materials, this relationship is not only determined by chemical composition, but strongly governed by microstructure. The success of atomistic simulations have in mimicking nature is most often limited by the accuracy of the description of the interaction between atoms. While advances in the state of electronic structure calculations now make it possible to calculate total energies with tremendous accuracy. A key task of computational materials science is to unravel the often hidden composition–
structure–property relationships using computational techniques.Not limited to the material science,this lecture workshop will give a basic understanding of atomistic simulations and will be able to read and understand the research literature in this fast emerging field. Moreover, the participants may discuss with the speakers and look forward for the research collaboration and any training program on various tools for their research.
