Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the course students will be able to write MATLAB code to solve and analyze materials physics problems by the use of computational methods.
Course Content (Syllabus)
The course offers an introduction and thorough deepening in programming techniques as a tool for solving problems in Physics of Materials. MATLAB is an advance programming platform and will be used as a planning tool. MATLAB enables the user to write code similar to the high level programming languages, combined with a complete library of functions and applications on computational physics. Consequently, the students will be trained in programming as a tool for production of scientific applications, using simultaneously the most sophisticated auxiliary functions available in MATLAB.
Simulation methods in Materials Physics. Monte-Carlo methods and molecular dynamics. Random numbers, random walk, properties in 1D, 2D and 3D. Τrapping events. Distribution functions. Crystal structures with impurities, high-order phase transitions, critical phenomena, critical exponents. Networks. Correlation functions. Multiple atomistic systems by the use of Molecular Dynamics, Lennard-Jones potential and the Verlet algorithm.
