Predicting the Structure of Solids

  • Chapter
Physics of Disordered Materials

Part of the book series: Institute for Amorphous Studies Series ((IASS))

Abstract

One of the oldest fundamental problems in condensed matter physics has been the prediction of the crystal structure of solids from first principles. Given only the atomic number of the constituent atoms as input, what are the possible geometric structures of a solid?
