Statistical Mechanics for Calculation of Thermal Magnetic Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Materials.

Abstract

Our work during the period covered by this report was devoted to the properties of materials using methods of statistical mechanics. The main focus of our research was in the following areas: (1) Kinetics of quenched alloys; (2) Phase diagrams of alloys; (3) Equilibrium and kinetic properties of polymers; (4) Properties of simple fluids and electrolytes. Our work involved both theoretical studies and computer simulations of model systems. These simulations, which were among the largest of their kind, greatly contributed to our understanding of the microscopic processes involved in various macroscopic phenomena.
