Event details
The equilibrium phase diagram of a given substance (characterized by an interaction potential between its constituents) provides essential information. Not only does it tell us where a specific phase can be found but it also helps us to understand and rationalize out-of-equilibrium behavior. On Thursday morning I will give an overview of the theoretical basis behind the determination of phase diagrams by computer simulation, with particular attention to the fluid?solid and solid?solid equilibria.
