Introduction. Some Historical Examples. Techniques. Electron Density for Hydrogen and Simple Atoms and Molecules. Some Asides on Algorithms. Models of Statistical Physics. Solids and Liquids. Carbon Allotropes. Useful Visualizations for the Classroom. Visualizing Surfaces with VGS. Appendices.
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.
