Compare Energy Landscapes Of Nanoscale Systems by David J. Wales, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Energy Landscapes of Nanoscale Systemsprovides a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in energy landscapes theory and applications. The book's chapters reflect diversity and knowledge transfer that is a key strength of the energy landscape approach. To reflect the breadth of this field, contributions include applications for clusters, biomolecules, crystal structure prediction and glassy materials. Chapters highlighting new methodologies, especially enhanced sampling techniques are included. In particular, the development and application of global optimization for structure prediction, methods for treating broken ergodicity on multifunnel landscapes, and treatment of rare event dynamics that reflect the state-of-the-art are featured. This book is an important reference source for materials scientists and energy engineers who want to understand more about how nanotechnology applies to the energy landscape approach. This volume is dedicated to Prof. Roy L. Johnston, who was formerly Co-Editor of the Frontiers of Nanoscience series, and who passed away in 2019.Outlines applications and advances in theory and simulation of energy systems at the nanoscaleExplores how the energy landscapes approach is being applied to nanoscale materialsAssesses major challenges in applying nanomaterials for energy applications on an industrial scale | Energy Landscapes Of Nanoscale Systems by David J.
