Introduction to Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics
by Juerg Hutter - University of Zurich , 2002
The aim of molecular dynamics is to model the detailed microscopic dynamical behavior of many different types of systems. Molecular dynamics is a technique to investigate equilibrium and transport properties of many–body systems.

Optical Properties of Solids
by Frederick Wooten - Academic Press , 1972
The present book attempts to fill a need for a fundamental textbook which explains the optical properties of solids. It is meant to explain a number of important concepts rather than present a complete survey of experimental data.

The Theory of Electrons and its Applications to the Phenomena of Light
by H. A. Lorentz - B.G. Teubner , 1916
Based on a course of lectures delivered at Columbia University by Nobel laureate H. A. Lorentz, this texte remains remarkably modern. Its outstanding discussion of general principles and experimental facts keep it vital.
