CMS seminar

　The CMS seminar aims at discussion of fundamental theories and calculational methods, as well as individual problems in materials science. The CMS seminar covers the following; (1) announcements of research results of the theoretical/computational scientists in NIMS, especially NIMS-CMSC, (2) talks by guests visiting NIMS (or the neighbourhood), (3) invited talks by outstanding researchers outside. Each seminar is organised by a different member working on theoretical/computational materials science in NIMS. The CMS seminar is open for everyone. All interested are welcome. This seminar is an official activity of the NIMS-CMSC.

Research Organization

First-Principles Simulation Group I

fps1We are aiming to clarify and predict the materials properties and functions, such as dynamical processes on　nano-structure formation, exotic properties of nano-scale materials and so on, by using first-principles simulation techniques. Efficient and reliable simulations techniques based on quantum mechanics are also developed.

First-Principles Simulation Group Ⅱ

fps2Recent progress in the computational materials science and the nanoscience require the reconsideration of the conventional understanding of the material properties with help of the state-of-the-art computer technologies. Our group is aimed to development of the theories to disclose the behavior of electrons in the nanoscale and to derive the properties based on it.

Particle Simulation and Thermodynamics Group

pstWe are applying various simulation techniques such as molecular dynamics (MD), Monte Calro, cluster variation method, and phase field method to materials phenomena to clarify the physics behind them and to predict the microstructure and properties of practical materials.
