CSI 885 - Atomistic Modeling of Materials

Credits: 3
Not Repeatable for Credit
Offered by Computational and Data Sciences  
Advanced course focusing on utilization of atomistic modeling and computer simulation techniques to analyze structure of crystalline materials. Introduces modern methodology of largescale atomistic simulations and provides hands-on experience through numerous examples and homework assignments based on simulation packages. Provides background knowledge on theory of lattice defects (point defects, interfaces, dislocations) and thermal and mechanical properties of solid materials (plastic deformation, fracture).

Prerequisite(s): CSI 685, 700, and 786; or permission of instructor.
Schedule Type: LEC
Hours of Lecture or Seminar per week: 3
