Extending the scope of 'in silico experiments': Theoretical approaches for the investigation of reaction mechanisms, nucleation events and phase transitions

The investigation of the atomistic mechanisms of processes in complex systems constitutes a major challenge to both theory and experiment. While experimental studies offer a wide variety of insights at the macroscopic scale, the atomistic level of detail often remains elusive. On the other hand, mol...
