Explores classical and quantum models to understand heat capacity in solids and discusses the relation between heat capacities at constant volume and pressure.
Explores Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics, a unified approach combining molecular dynamics and density-functional theory for simulating various systems, with a focus on historical background, technical details, and challenges in atomistic simulations.
Explores the conservation of energy in thermodynamic systems through heat and work interactions, introducing internal energy, enthalpy, and heat capacity.
Discusses the transition from Hamiltonian to Lagrangian mechanics, focusing on thermodynamic potentials and their implications in energy transformations.
Covers the fundamentals of classical physics, emphasizing energy transformations in systems through gas laws, work, heat, and the laws of thermodynamics.
