Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The course consists of three parts. First we will make a brief introduction in Statistical Mechanics that is necessary for understanding Monte Carlo (MC) and Molecular Dynamics (MD). Second part is about simulations. I will tell about basic concepts behind MC and MD with emphasis on Soft matter Physics. After that each of the participants will get an individual project to work on. While first two parts are lectures, the last part is hands-on. The basic book is by Frenkel and Smit, "Understanding Molecular Simulation".The main aim is to get experience in simulating soft matter and analysing the data, as well as understanding the basic concepts and methods.
Assessment and permitted materials
The exam is the oral presentation of your project. During the presentation one has to be ready to be asked for codes, and for explanations of the latter, along with questions about methods and statistical physics behind.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Without a successfully presented project the exam cannot be passed.
Examination topics
Statistical Mechanics that is necessary for understanding Monte Carlo (MC) and Molecular Dynamics (MD); methods themselves; understanding of the program for the project.
Reading list
Frenkel and Smit, "Understanding Molecular Simulation"
