This TS will cover a range of computational methodologies employed in materials design, incorporating fundamental first-principles calculations probing structure-property relationships, density-functional ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations at finite temperatures that allow us to identify atomistic processes and associated changes in electronic structure which control strength, plasticity, and fracture in materials, through to large-scale ‘virtual experiments’ tackled using a classical Molecular Dynamics approach.

Tremendous improvements in computational resources, coupled with software development in recent years, make it possible to calculate real materials properties and thus provide a roadmap for experimental materials synthesis. To this end, quantum mechanical and classical methods are incredibly powerful tools capable of guiding the entire design process. With increasingly complex materials being synthesized for an ever-growing range of applications, there is a great need for understanding material properties at the atomistic and electronic level.
