Laboratorio di simulazioni atomistiche e molecolari

The course will present a computational approach to the study of emergent physical phenomena in hard and soft condensed matter. It will focus in particular on the simulation of the physical properties of classical many-body systems at equilibrium, using both schematic models and a first principles description of molecular interactions, also on the mesoscopic scale (colloids and polymers). The course will analyze the phase transitions occurring in such systems, implementing Monte Carlo methods for efficient sampling of configurational space.

The course comprises

• 14 lectures (2h each) including a “seminar session”

• 12 labs (3h each)

• 4 tutorials (2h each)

This course is offered at the Laurea Magistrale in Fisica dell’Università di Trieste (Italy)
