Explores the partition function and Stirling approximation in statistical thermodynamics, emphasizing the importance of recognizing higher order terms.
Explores Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics, a unified approach combining molecular dynamics and density-functional theory for simulating various systems, with a focus on historical background, technical details, and challenges in atomistic simulations.
Explores classical and quantum models to understand heat capacity in solids and discusses the relation between heat capacities at constant volume and pressure.
