Abstract

We review recent progress in the field of multiscale hybrid computer simulations of materials, and present an overview of a novel scheme that links arbitrary atomistic simulation techniques together in a truly seamless manner. Rather than constructing a new hybrid Hamiltonian that combines different models, we use a unique short range classical potential and continuously tune its parameters to reproduce the atomic trajectories at the prescribed level of accuracy throughout the system
