June Gunn Lee

June Gunn Lee is an emeritus research fellow in the Computational Science Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), where he has worked for 28 years. He has published roughly 70 papers on engineering ceramics and computational materials science. He earned a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from the University of Utah.

He has presented short courses at various companies (Samsung/SAIT, SK-Hynix, etc.) and lectured at Universities (Young-Nam U., U. of Seoul) in Korea on the subject of computational materials science.

Some trivial remarks:

1. He had drawn all pictorial drawings in this book himself to avoid any copy-right hassel.

2. He is a marathoner with a record that includes two full-course finishes.

3. He is preparing a third full-course run (Recently, he gave up).

His recent publications include:

1. Hwang, S. J., Kim, S.-K., Lee, J.-G., Lee, S.-C., Lim, T.-H., Sung, Y.-E., Yoo, S. J., Role of Electronic Perturbation in Stability and Activity of Pt-based Alloy Nanocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 134, 19508−19511, 2012.

2. B. H. Kim, K. R. Lee, Y. C. Chung, and J. G. Lee, Effects of interfacial bonding in the Si-CNT nanocomposite: A molecular dynamics approach, J. Appl. Phys. Materials, JR12-4019R, 2012.

3. J. Shin, A. Vita, S. Windu, J.-H. Choi, S.-C. Lee, and J. G. Lee, Energetics and Interdiffusion at the Cu/Ru(0001) Interface: Density Functional Calculations, J. Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 11, 6589-6593, 2011.

ERRATUM for the 2nd Edition:

Writing a book is a variational process. One minimizes mistakes iteratively,

but it never goes down to the ground-state (zero mistake). Sorry for your inconvenience.

ERRATUM for the 1st Edition:

1. Page 18/Equation (2.8); divide by '2' for the first term on right side

(Thanks to Ming Liu,University of Kentucky)

Page 18/Equation (2.11); remove '1/2'

2. Page 36/Figure 2.13/bottom figure; change (a) to '(b)'

3. Page 41/top; '...x-ray diffraction (XRD) x-ray diffraction, ...' to 'x-ray diffraction (XRD), ...'

4. Page 107/middle; replace 'MF' to 'HF'

5. Page 200/top/Figure 7.1; replace the 1st 'CHGCAR, CONTCAR, WAVECAR, etc.' to 'Ionic Relaxation'

6. Page 214/8th line from top; remove '2 or'

7. Page 248/Figure 7.16/caption; delete one 'supercell'
