The research field Nanosimulation

In this field of work, simulations of different materials are performed on the atomic scale. Here, ab initio methods, classical molecular dynamics simulations and atomistic Monte-Carlo-simulations are used. Also, scale spanning projects with simulations on the mesoscale (e.g. dislocation dynamics and phase field method) are carried out.
