This handbook is a five-volume reference set for computational material scientists, serving a steadily growing community at the intersection of two mainstreams of global research, materials technology and computational science. Since its first publication in 2006 it has set a standard toward defining the broad community and stimulating its growth. The second edition reflects the significant developments that have occurred in all aspects of computational materials research, ranging from fundamental concepts to increasingly more realistic models and more powerful multiscale simulation methods in the intervening 10 years. This new edition has a three-fold objective:•  the foundational attributes of materials theory, modeling and simulation wherever appropriate. est. weiterlesen
