Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanical (QM/MM) Approaches

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Computational modeling techniques are now standard tools in solid‐state science. They are used routinely to model and predict structures, to investigate defect, transport, and spectroscopic properties of solids, to simulate sorption and diffusion, to develop models for nucleation and growth of solids, and increasingly to model and predict reaction mechanisms. They are applied to bulk solids, surfaces, and nanostructures, and successful applications are reported for all major classes of solid: metals, semiconductors, inorganic and ceramic materials, and molecular crystals. Modeling methods are now indeed tools that are used to guide, interpret, and predict experiment.
