Dedicated computation board for high-speed computations of nonbonded interactions Simulation time has been dramatically reduced by an embedded "MD Engine(R)," a dedicated computation board for high-speed computation of nonbonded interactions such as coulomb force and intermolecular force that account for more than 99% in many cases of molecular dynamics simulation.
The opening chapters review the history of inorganic solar cells, the development of molecular and polymeric devices, the simulation of optical processes, and Coulomb forces in excitonic solar cells.
Paul Dirac was never satisfied with the point particle because the Coulomb force law had to be corrected by "renormalization.
