This textbook introduces modern techniques based on computer simulation to study materials science. It starts from first principles calculations enabling to calculate the physical and chemical properties by solving a many-body Schroedinger equation with Coulomb forces. For the exchange-correlation term, the local density approximation is usually applied. After the introduction of the first principles treatment, tight-binding and classical potential methods are briefly introduced to indicate how one can increase the number of atoms in the system. In the second half of the book, Monte Carlo simulation is discussed in detail. Problems and solutions are provided to facilitate understanding. Readers will gain sufficient knowledge to begin theoretical studies in modern materials research.
This second edition includes a lot of recent theoretical techniques in materials research. With the computers power now available, it is possible to use these numerical techniques to study various physical and chemical properties of complex materials from first principles. The new edition also covers empirical methods, such as tight-binding and molecular dynamics.

About the Author
Professor Kawazoe has started his research in nuclear physics as a hard core theoretical physicist. He was one of the first generation to use computers in research in Japan. He contributed to start the Education Center for Information Processing, Tohoku University in 1982. He was the first implementing bitnet (present Internet) at a Japanese National University. Later he was promoted to Director of the Computer Center in Tohoku University. He became a full professor in 1990 at the Institute for Materials Research, one of the most famous institutes worldwide. He developed a computer code for materials design, including a number of original tools which other similar codes cannot compute, for example, absolute energy estimation of electronic levels and time course simulation of chemical reactions. He revealed that the present standard of theoretical modeling, such as Hubbard model, is incorrect and showed for example the true origin of magnetism which should change the standard textbooks in solid state physics, quantum chemistry and computational materials science.
Dr. Ohno is a Professor in Yokohama National University, who is working in the field of computational materials science and physics. His Doctor thesis at Tohoku University was "Critical Phenomena at Surfaces" using the renormalization group theory and the high-temperature expansion. After he became Assistant Professor of Tohoku University, he started Monte Carlo simulation on star-polymers with the collaboration with Prof. Kurt Binder.
Four years later, he became Associate Professor of IMR, Tohoku University, and started implementation of the ab initio all-electron code named TOMBO with Prof. Kawazoe. Now TOMBO can do the self-consistent GWΓ calculation, which is the first achievement in the world. His experience in developing this code strongly reflects this book and many detailed explanations and discussions are given in this book. He is doing not only ab initio calculations but also first-principles mappings onto the lattice models. His idea of the potential renormalization theory is the very promising method to map the ab initio results onto the lattice gas models, and now expected a wide application to various materials research subjects.Dr. Esfarjani is a computational materials scientist with interest in solid-state energy conversion and storage, transport phenomena and thermoelectric materials. He is the leading expert in modeling and computation of thermal transport properties of materials. He was one of the pioneers in introducing the first-principles approach to compute phonon relaxation rates and deduce the thermal conductivity from solving the Boltzmann transport equation for phonons. His work on silicon showed for the first time the wide distribution of phonon mean free paths, previously assumed as narrow. He has also extended this approach to treat the effect of electron-phonon interactions on thermal conductivity of doped semiconductors. His other research has focused on properties of carbon nanotubes and fullerenes, cross-plane thermionic transport in 2d layered materials, and cluster formation and stability. Dr. Esfarjani is presently a professor in the mechanical engineering department of the University of Virginia. He obtained his PhD in condensed matter theory at the University of Delaware. This was followed by a postdoctoral research at Washington University in St. Louis, before he moved to Japan and started his career in materials science at the Institute for Materials Research of the Tohoku University, where he was assistant and then associate professor. This was followed by appointments at the Sharif University of Technology, University of California Santa Cruz, Massachussets Institute of Technology and Rutgers University, before finally joining the faculty of University of Virginia.

Right of withdrawal
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
