Atomistic simulations
We are usually interested in the ground and metastable states of the system, i.e. the global and local minima of
G=U+PV-TS=f(R1, R2, ...,RN; P, T, ...).
Two tasks: (a) approximate G (b) minimize G.
If U is more important than S (e.g. solids), we need an accurate quantum mechanical method (such as Density Functional Theory, DFT). Most CPU time is spent on calculation of G.
If S is more important than U, (e.g gases and liquids), we need an accurate statistical method (such as empirical potential Monte Carlo or Molecular Dynamics). Most CPU time is spent on minimization of G (time evolution).

Mechanical properties of nanocrystalline materials• Hall-Petch effect for metals
Hardness and yield strength increase with decreasing grain size• ‘Reverse’ Hall-Petch Softening when grain size is in nanometer range• Optimum grain size for strongest material Crossover from dislocation-dominated plasticity to grain-boundary sliding
• dependence of elastic properties on grain size?Softening not limited to plastic deformations.
• What about non-metals?Softening for non-metals, such as diamond.

Mechanical properties of nanocrystalline materials• Universal laws for softening of nanocrystalline materials
– Emerge from our studies of elastic response of very different materials, such as copper and diamond.
– Appear to be general, independent of chemical composition of material.
– Derived from general considerations of increasing fraction of grain boundary atoms.
