TST, and/or MD simulations (the choice depends mainly on whether the process is activated or not). The creation of a database, a lookup table, or a map of transition probabilities for use in KMC simulation emerges as a powerful modeling approach in computational materials science and reaction arenas (Maroudas, 2001 Raimondeau et al., 2001). This idea parallels tabulation efforts in computationally intensive chemical kinetics simulations (Pope, 1997). In turn, the KMC technique computes system averages, which are usually of interest, as well as the probability density function (pdf) or higher moments, and spatiotemporal information in a spatially distributed simulation.

There are a number of chemistry books available related to computational materials science and to modeling of molecular solid state, but none of the books cover current pharmaceutical industry applications. The intention of this book is to highlight the importance of the computational pharmaceutical solid-state chemistry and to fiU the gap in the current hterature. The book examines the state-of-the-art computational approaches to guide and analysis of solid form experiments and to optimize the physical and chemical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) related to its stability, bioavailability, and formulatability. While aU methods and approaches described in the book appear to be state of the art, the book is... 

New materials developments have been significant, and recent developments based on computational methodologies allow the process to occur at a much faster pace. However, corrosion resistance is not yet among the properties being optimized (see the section on integrated computational materials science and engineering in Chapter 3).

The Director of the Theory Department is Matthias Scheffler, born in 1951 in Berlin. He earned his PhD in Physics from the Technische Universitat Berlin in 1978 with a thesis written at the PHI on Theory of Angular Resolved Photoemisson from Adsorbates. His advisers were Kurt Moliere (PHI), Kyozaburo Kambe (FHl) and Frank Forstmann (Freie Universitat Berlin and FHl). Prior to his appointment as Director at the FHl in 1988, he was a staff scientist at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig. In 2004 he was appointed Distinguished Visiting Professor for Computational Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California Santa Barbara, where he spends up to a quarter of the year. 

There is a growing interest in modeling transition metals because of its applicability to catalysts, bioinorganics, materials science, and traditional inorganic chemistry. Unfortunately, transition metals tend to be extremely difficult to model. This is so because of a number of effects that are important to correctly describing these compounds. The problem is compounded by the fact that the majority of computational methods have been created, tested, and optimized for organic molecules. Some of the techniques that work well for organics perform poorly for more technically difficult transition metal systems. 

In what follows, some of these approaches will be further discussed. A very detailed and exhaustive survey of the various basic techniques and the problems that have been treated with them will be found in the first comprehensive text on computational materials science , by Raabe (1998). Another book which covers the principal techniques in great mathematical detail and is effectively focused on materials, especially polymers, is by Frenkel and Smit (1996).

The modern discipline of Materials Science and Engineering can be described as a search for experimental and theoretical relations between a material s processing, its resulting microstructure, and the properties arising from that microstructure. These relations are often complicated, and it is usually difficult to obtain closed-form solutions for them. For that reason, it is often attractive to supplement experimental work in this area with numerical simulations. During the past several years, we have developed a general finite element computer model which is able to capture the essential aspects of a variety of nonisothermal and reactive polymer processing operations. This "flow code" has been Implemented on a number of computer systems of various sizes, and a PC-compatible version is available on request. This paper is intended to outline the fundamentals which underlie this code, and to present some simple but illustrative examples of its use.

Advances in computational capability have raised our ability to model and simulate materials structure and properties to the level at which computer experiments can sometimes offer significant guidance to experimentation, or at least provide significant insights into experimental design and interpretation. For self-assembled macromolecular structures, these simulations can be approached from the atomic-molecular scale through the use of molecular dynamics or finite element analysis. Chapter 6 discusses opportunities in computational chemical science and computational materials science.
