Computer Simulation of Liquids 2nd Edition by Michael P. Allen (PDF)

Description

This book provides a practical guide to molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation techniques used in the modelling of simple and complex liquids. Computer simulation is an essential tool in studying the chemistry and physics of condensed matter, complementing and reinforcing both experiment and theory. Simulations provide detailed information about structure and dynamics, essential to understand the many fluid systems that play a key role in our daily lives:polymers, gels, colloidal suspensions, liquid crystals, biological membranes, and glasses. The second edition of this pioneering book aims to explain how simulation programs work, how to use them, and how to interpret the results, with examples of the latest research in this rapidly evolving field.Accompanying programs in Fortran and Python provide practical, hands-on, illustrations of the ideas in the text.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐When I was planning to buy the first edition of this book, I found there is already the second edition! This is a surprise!This is a thoroughly updated edition of a classic book on molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo simulations of liquids. It is nearly expanded by 100% and the price is even lower than the first edition (paperback). So buy this edition with less money but more meat.I have just received this book and am still at chapter one, so I am not ready to review the contents. I may add such comments after I read more.I have several other MD books, including Haile’s

⭐, Tuckerman’s

⭐, Frenkel&Smit’s

⭐, and Rapaport’s

⭐. I have learned nothing from Rapaport and very little from Frenkel&Smit, but a lot from Haile, Tuckerman, and the first edition of Allen&Tildesley. I believe that the second edition of Allen&Tildesley will teach me more.So here is my suggestion: If you can only afford one book on MD, buy the second edition of Allen&Tildesley. If you have more money, you can also buy Haile (very good for beginners but somewhat dated) and Tuckerman (good for experienced). Buy Frenkel&Smit if you are very interested in Monte Carlo methods and free energy calculations. Buy Rapaport if you really don’t know how to spend your money properly.I am not happy with the font size. It is too small (similar to the font size in typical scientific journal papers) which hurts my eyes. I hope the font size can be enlarged by 20% or so, but this physical defect cannot prevent me from giving this book 5 stars.

⭐I live on coding MD for liquids. My first book on the subject is the first edition 1987 Allen&Tildesley. I learnt the theory and algorithm from it. As soon as the second edition got released, I bought one. But this secondary edition, indeed added some new development, but all the added section are not in depth and superficial, such that you really cannot learn the theory background from it. So if you have the first edition, you don’t need to buy the second edition.To learn the theory and practice, Tuckerman or Frenkel&Smit should be a better choice. Thanks!A misplaced page advising perhaps considering some alternatives?

⭐I was afraid second editions some things are not as good as the first edition which is regarded a classic, but It doesn’t disspoint me.

⭐Molecular dynamics

⭐AMAZING book!

⭐good

⭐One of the best graduate textbooks for those who want to learn molecular dynamics theory and code implementation

⭐Very good book! It is easy to understand and it covers a lot of important topics

⭐Arrived in perfect conditions, I think it is a good book for someone who is kind of new in molecular dynamics stuff

⭐It looks good

⭐Excelente libro de simulación, ya lo había llevado en la licenciatura y como seguí con estos temas de investigación, ya lo tuve que consultar como base. Y está edición me enteré que acabó de salir y decidí comprarla, magnífico contenido y junto con el Frenkel son base para alguien que se dedicará a simulación molecular.
