{"product_id":"multiscale-modeling","title":"Multiscale Modeling","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile the relevant features and properties of nanosystems necessarily depend on nanoscopic details, their performance resides in the macroscopic world. To rationally develop and accurately predict performance of these systems we must tackle problems where multiple length and time scales are coupled. Rather than forcing a single modeling approach to predict an event it was not designed for, a new paradigm must be employed: multiscale modeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA brilliant solution to a pervasive problem, \u003cstrong\u003eMultiscale Modeling: From Atoms to Devices\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a number of approaches for which more than one scale is explicitly considered. It provides several alternatives, from coarse-graining sampling of the atomic and mesoscale to Monte Carlo- and thermodynamic-based models that allow sampling of increasingly large scales up to multiscale models able to describe entire devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeginning with common techniques for coarse-graining, the book discusses their theoretical background, advantages, and limitations. It examines the application-dependent parameterization characteristics of coarse-graining along with the \"finer-trains-coarser\" multiscale approach and describes three carefully selected examples in which the parameterization, although based on the same principles, depends on the actual application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book considers the use of \u003cem\u003eab initio \u003c\/em\u003eand density functional theory to obtain parameters needed for larger scale models, the alternative use of density functional theory parameters in a Monte Carlo method, and the use of \u003cem\u003eab initio \u003c\/em\u003eand density functional theory as the atomistic technique underlying the calculation of thermodynamics properties of alloy phase stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighlighting one of the most challenging tasks for multiscale modelers, \u003cstrong\u003eMultiscale Modeling: From Atoms to Devices\u003c\/strong\u003e also presents modeling for nanocomposite materials using the embedded fiber finite element method (EFFEM). It emphasizes an ensemble Monte Carlo method to high field-charge transport problems and demonstrates the practical application of modern many-body quantum theories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author maintains a \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www2.latech.edu\/~pderosa\/\"\u003ewebsite\u003c\/a\u003e with additional information.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45542155419886,"sku":"9781138118249","price":121.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138118249.jpg?v=1720120584","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/multiscale-modeling","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
