Material research with tight-binding molecular dynamics

Abstract Tight-binding molecular dynamics has recently emerged as a useful method for studying the structural, dynamical and electronic properties of realistic systems. In this article, we briefly review some recent achievements of the tight-binding molecular dynamics method and discuss some opportunities for future development.
