Codes for the Statistical Thermodinamics Lab at UniMib [2016/17]

Literally my first MD&MC codes, and it shows, it really does. One day I'll take the time to reorganize things quite a bit, for the love of aesthetics. Efficiency it's not a concern and frankly never will: it's matlab afterall!


Let's clarify that:

  • MD stands for Molecular Dynamics;
  • MC stands for Monte Carlo.

The course/lab focused on using these two popular techniques to tackle a standard ---yet challenging, cause multiscale in nature--- solid state problem: the fil rouge being Ag adatoms drifting over fcc silver 100 and 111 surfaces, the MD simulations are meant to investigate the detailed short time-scale dynamics while the MC statistics model surface diffusion in the long time-scale, according to Transition State Theory (TST, ref. to J. Phys. Chem. 1996, 100, 31, 12771–12800).
