For example, cooking uses many kinds of crystallized products, such as salt, sugar, and fat crystals; electronic devices contain semiconductor crystals; living organisms produce mineral crystals to maintain biological processes; and snow and ice crystals play a crucial role in climate change. For these and other topics related to crystals, an especially important area of research is crystal growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComputer simulations of crystal growth have become increasingly important as a result of rapid increases in available computing power. Computer simulations can analyze and predict various aspects of crystal growth, including molecular-scale growth and nucleation mechanisms, the structure and dynamics of surfaces and interfaces, and pattern formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents state-of-the-art research and reviews of computer simulation studies on crystal growth for hard-sphere particles, organic molecules, ice, and functional materials. The studies use a variety of simulation methodologies, including molecular simulations, first-principles simulations, continuum simulations, and multiscale simulations. This book will interest graduate students and researchers in crystal growth science and technology and will provide a helpful reference for scientists who want to familiarize themselves with computer simulations of crystal growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hiroki Nada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3038973564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783038973560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mdpi AG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.56d","brand":"Hiroki Nada","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48454027673855,"sku":"9783038973560","price":63.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dbc20185-5a5c-45c4-9b3e-d6a5bc589d0f.jpg?v=1777303742","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/advances-in-computer-simulation-studies-hiroki-nada-9783038973560","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
