Part 3 (Week 11 - Week 15)

Lecturer: Prof. Dah-Yen Yang (楊大衍教授)

Introduction:

The third part of thermodynamics course aiming at solving biophysics problem and other chemical reaction in solution related problems.This lecture starts from basic non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, i.e. classical Brownian motion.Then an elementary chemical reaction rate theory is introduced.After setting up the basic theory, molecular dynamics simulation and ab-initio molecular dynamics simulation methods are presented as further application in bio-physical system and nano-material.

Outline:

• Classical of Brownian Motion
• Time-correlation Function
• Rate Theory
• Molecular Dynamics Simulation
• ab-initio Quantum Mechanical Dynamics Simulation
