EFFECTIVE HAMILTONIANS FOR THE PREDICTION OF
PHASE EQUILIBRIA AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES FROM FIRST PRINCIPLES

Participants

Objective

The objective of this working group is to develop a unified effective Hamiltonian method for predicting phase transitions, phase equilibria, and physical properties from first principles.

Workshops

The first workshop was held at NIST, Gaithersburg, MD, on June 22-23, 2000.
A workshop on Thermodynamic and Structural Properties of Materials will be held in Avignon, France on September 10-14, 2001. Please contact Ben Burton at benjamin.burton@nist.gov for more information.
