Abstract

The computational studying on atomic systems becomes more and more important in the nanotechnology and nanoscience. In this review, a number of existing and emerging atomistic statics approaches are introduced and discussed, and several examples are also included. By comparison, we investigate the advantages and applicabilities of different methods, and attempt to establish a guide for choosing proper atomistic computational method for a specific problem.
