Molecular Dynamics Calculations on Molten Ionic Salts

  • Chapter
Advances in Molten Salt Chemistry

Abstract

The advent of computers in recent years has given considerable impetus to progress in many areas of physical science. This article reviews some aspects of the application of modern computer simulation techniques to studies of the physical chemistry of molten salts.
