- About this book
-
This book presents recently developed computational approaches for the study of reactive materials under extreme physical and thermodynamic conditions. It delves into cutting edge developments in simulation methods for reactive materials, including quantum calculations spanning nanometer length scales and picosecond timescales, to reactive force fields, coarse-grained approaches, and machine learning methods spanning microns and nanoseconds and beyond. These methods are discussed in the context of a broad range of fields, including prebiotic chemistry in impacting comets, studies of planetary interiors, high pressure synthesis of new compounds, and detonations of energetic materials. The book presents a pedagogical approach for these state-of-the-art approaches, compiled into a single source for the first time. Ultimately, the volume aims to make valuable research tools accessible to experimentalists and theoreticians alike for any number of scientific efforts, spanning many different types of compounds and reactive conditions.
- About the authors

Dr. Nir Goldman is a scientist based in the Materials Science Division, Physical and Life Sciences Directorate, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA. His current research interests involve the development of novel approaches to quantum and classical molecular dynamics simulations of chemical reactivity within condensed matter. This includes corrosion processes, soft matter degradation phenomena, the modeling of laser-driven dynamic compression experiments, and astrobiological synthesis of life-building compounds under extreme thermodynamic conditions.
