COMPUTER SIMULATIONS IN THE FIELDS OF CONDENSED MATTER, SURFACE PHYSICAL-CHEMISTRY AND STATISTICAL MECHANICS

Coordinator: Dr. Ezequiel V. Albano

The aim of the project is to develope and study models in order to contribute to the understanding of processes and phenomena in the fields of condensed matter, surface physical-chemistry and statistical mechanics, including: Adsorption-desorption, corrosion, heterogeneously catalized reactions, nucleation and growth of materials such as crystals, polycrystals and desordered structures (fractals), diffusion, phase transitions and critical phenomena, properties of magnetic materials, far from equilibrium processes, properties of glass and disordered materials, self-organized criticality, biologically motivated models, models of complex social processes, etc.
