Up-to-date information on the theoretical\naspects of phase stability of     materials is contained in this\nvolume. Most of the first-principles         calculations are based\non the local-density approximation (LDA). In         contrast, this\nvolume contains very recent results of \"going beyond         LDA\",\nsuch as the density gradient expansion and the quantum\nMonte-Carlomethod.\nFollowing the recently introduced theoretical methods for\nthe   calculation of interatomic potentials, forces acting on\natoms and total     energies such as the Car-Parrinello, the\neffective-medium and the bond-ordermethod, attempts have\nbeen made to develop even more sophisticated methods  such as\nthe order-N method in electronic-structure calculations.            The\npresent status of these methods and their application to\nreal       systems are described.\nIn addition, in order to study the phase stability atfinite\ntemperatures, the microscopic calculations have to be\ncombined   with statistical treatment of the systems to\ndescribe, e.g. order-disorder  transitions on the Si(001)\nsurface or alloy phase diagrams. This book       contains examples\nfor this type of calculations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-02-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642849701\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-84968-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 223\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398626603148,"sku":"9783642849701","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642849701.jpg?v=1755439188","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783642849701","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
