Résumé

Mike Finnis is an exceptional writer. Not only has he made seminal contributions to the development of interatomic forces, but he is a master at explaining involved and difficult concepts in a transparent and physically intuitive way... This will be the definitive treatment on interatomic forces for years to come.

Adrian P. Sutton FRS, University of Oxford

I am very excited by the prospect of this book. It promises to be an important resource for a broad readership.

Robert E. Rudd, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

There is a continuing growth of interest in the computer simulation of materials at the atomic scale, using a variety of academic and commercial computer programs. Such programs work with very diverse models of the inter-atomic forces. This book explains how such models are constructed, their scientific basis, and the approximations that must be made in deriving them.

Readership: Graduate students and professionals working in materials science, physics, and chemistry.

Provides a clear, unified and self-contained account.
Combines essential theory in part one with its application to deriving models in part two.
Stimulating source of ideas for researchers developing new models.
Very thorough and pedagogic analysis of the nature of current models.
Gives derivations of equations in full.
