Abstract
Many properties of solids are determined by defects in the lattice structure. A powerful method of discovering the nature and population of defects in solids is computer simulation. We discuss various methods of computer simulation in metals and ionic solids. In particular, we shall discuss lattice statics and Monte Carlo methods. Methods of obtaining suitable models of the crystal potential will also be considered.
