Read MoreThe Computational Materials Science section focuses on the development and state-of-the art applications of computational and theoretical approaches to the fields of materials science and engineering. It calls for high-quality computational investigations on all classes of methods and/or materials and their structures. Of specific interest are investigations that provide novel insights into material behavior, properties and phenomena, new methods and/or simulation protocols, as well as prediction of structure-property relationships for new materials. Topics include, but are not limited to:
· Ab-initio and semi-empirical methods
· Density Functional Theory
· QM/MM approaches
· Molecular Dynamics
· Ab-initio Dynamics
· Quantum Dynamics
· Force field/molecular mechanics methods
· Macromolecular structure prediction and dynamics
· Computer-aided molecular design and modeling
· New methodologies and/or simulation protocols
· Machine learning applied to materials design and/or materials characterizations
Strong emphasis is given to the improvement, benchmarking and the state-of-the-art implementation of methods that bridge orders of magnitude by the development and validation of transferable parameters or by the definition of interfaces between methodologies. Work focusing on the mechanical responses of materials is better suited to our Mechanics of Materials section.
