Industrial Applications of Simulation Studies in Solid State Chemistry

Abstract This paper gives an account of some recent applications of computer simulation techniques to materials of industrial importance. The methodology used is fully discussed, and applications to zeolites, high Tc superconductors, superionic conductors and mantle-forming minerals are described.
