RMC: progress, problems and prospects

摘要: Abstract Materials that are disordered far more common those have well-ordered crystalline structures, yet our understanding of them still remains at a very basic level. Since many technologically important materials it is vital we improve detailed knowledge their atomic structures and how related to other physical properties. Reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) general method for creating structural models systems based on experimental data, predominantly from diffraction experiments. The development RMC described in the context scientific problems driven it. Some present outlined current possible future developments discussed.
