Synopsis

This book provides a broad overview of the recent developments in computer simulation studies of condensed-matter systems. The contributions present new physical results, simulation techniques and ways of interesting simulational data. They are grouped into three parts. The first part contains contributions dealing with simulational studies of classical systems with an introduction to new simulation techniques and special purpose computers. The second part discusses quantum systems including new results for strongly correlated electron and quantum spin systems believed to be important for the understanding of high-temperature superconductors. The third part comprises contributed presentations on the ordering in lipid monolayers, molecular dynamics, finite-size effects, histogram Monte Carlo studies of phase transitions, and nonlinear excitations.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This volume represents a "status report" emanating from presentations made during the 18th Annual Workshop on Computer Simulations Studies in Condensed Matter Physics at the Center for Simulational Physics at the University of Georgia in March 2005. It provides a broad overview of the most recent advances in the field, spanning the range from statistical physics to soft condensed matter and biological systems. Results on nanostructures and materials are included as are several descriptions of advances in quantum simulations and quantum computing as well as.methodological advances.
