OSTI ID:5899369
This book presents most of the lectures given at the NATO Advanced Studies Institute on ''The Physics of Superionic Conductors and Electrode Materials,'' whose aim was to discuss the most recent advances in the computational mathematics and physics of condensed matter physics and to see how these advances could be applied to the study of ionically conducting solids. Topics include relations between crystal structures and ionic conductivity; thermodynamic and transport properties of superionic conductors and electrode materials; evaluation and meaning of ionic and dipolar lattice sums; evaluation of lattice sums in disordered ionic systems; the crystalline, liquid, glassy, gaseous, and superfluid states of simple substances; molecular dynamics studies of superionic conductors; some applications of conditionally convergent lattice sums; boundary conditions in the simulation of ionic systems; Monte Carlo simulation techniques; the calculation of free energies using computer simulation; Monte Carlo study of solid electrolytes; molecular dynamics with constraints; stochastic dynamics of polymers; the application of irreversible thermodynamics to mass transport in ionic conductors; and ion transport boundary conditions.
