Visualization in Computational Physics and Materials Science

Visualization in Computational Physics and Materials Science Synopsis

In a condensed matter laboratory, visualization is especially useful in cases where it is possible to observe the interior of samples non-destructively. However, tools for visualizing surfaces and fields in engineering are often unsuitable. This book provides a complete guide to the application of visualization and other computational techniques in condensed matter physics and materials science research. It emphasizes three-dimensional visualization techniques and animation in condensed matter, statistical physics, computational physics, quantum mechanics, and optics. The text takes gives a truly hands-on approach, explaining techniques step by step with simple, representative examples.
