Chapter 203 Computational Materials Science

In such a fulfilling study life, the summer vacation passed quickly, and Wu Bin's next topic has basically taken shape, making him happy every day, in Lin Ziqi's words, "Laughing is getting more and more perverted." ”

On the first day of August, Wu Bin, Lin Ziqi and Li Yan had just come out of the library when they received a phone call, but the caller was from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" Wu Bin picked up the phone and asked.

"Hello? Is it Wu Bin? The voice of a mature man came from the other end of the phone.

'Hmm...... This voice seems a little familiar. ’

But before Wu Bin could remember who it was, he spoke again on the other end of the phone: "I'm Uncle Pei, can you hear me?" ”

"Huh!? Uncle Pei!? Listen out, listen out, hello. Wu Bin, who was surprised, replied again and again.

"Hahaha, did it scare you?" Uncle Bae laughed.

"It's a little." Wu Bin laughed, "Is there anything my uncle looking for me?" ”

"It's not a big deal, I'm just here to congratulate you, you posted an article in "Science" at such a young age, and your future is limitless, so I immediately asked Jia Min for your number and called you."

"Huh? Uncle, do you know about Science? ”

Posting "Science" is not entertainment news, and generally only insiders will be surprised. However, Uncle Pei was not too surprised to know Wu Bin, after all, he was an executive of a chip company, and it was normal for him to have researchers who subscribed to the journal "Science" or read it directly online on the official website.

"Yes, I just heard two young men from our R&D department mention your name in the morning, so I asked curiously and found out that it was really you." After a pause, Uncle Pei added: "In addition, the photo is good, a bit of my youthful style." ”

"Thank you, uncle, for the compliment."

"Hahaha, I'll just say you can't be wrong, yes, yes, in addition, the graphene you studied, now many people are tinkering with it, the prospect is very big, don't look at the current market size is still very small, but I believe that it is only a matter of time before this material is put into application, just wait for young people like you to push it again."

After laughing a few times, Uncle Pei said again: "Have you heard about the signing of a research project between Warwick and the National Graphene Research Institute of the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom a while ago? ”

"Well, I heard that, and I think it's a good decision."

Wu Bin had already learned about Samsung's investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in graphene, and an ambitious company like Huawei was naturally not far behind.

The University of Manchester is also known as the homeland of graphene because two scientists, Andrei Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, who won the Nobel Prize for graphene, both worked at the University of Manchester.

As the first place where graphene was discovered, as early as 8 years ago, the British National Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the European Regional Development Fund funded 38 million pounds and 23 million pounds respectively to establish the National Graphene Research Institute of the University of Manchester.

After so many years of development, it can be said to be the base camp of graphene research, with very advanced technology and equipment, and among the many literature that Wu Bin reads, the output of articles in this laboratory can be said to be very large.

And in the recent academic exchange emails, several people also made it clear that they are from the Graphene Research Institute and are very welcome to study Wu Bin.

"Uncle told you, you can try to study more in the direction of LED displays, this piece will be hot sooner or later."

Listening to Uncle Pei's sudden serious tone, Wu Bin replied: "Thank you uncle for the reminder, I will pay attention to reading more literature in this area." ”

"Hey, okay, okay, then I won't tell you more, this call is mainly to congratulate you, next time you come back for winter vacation, remember to come over for a meal, let me take a photo with you, and show off with those young people in our company."

Wu Bin: "Haha, uncle, you are laughing. ”

"Hahaha, then I'll hang up first, continue to work hard, uncle is optimistic about you."

"Okay, thank you, uncle."

hung up the phone, and Lin Ziqi on the side immediately asked curiously: "Is your family a scholarly family for generations?" ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Wu Bin was stunned by Lin Ziqi's question.

"Otherwise, what uncle is so powerful, he can know that you posted such a thing as "Science" without you notifying."

Wu Bin smiled after hearing this, "You are really serious about eavesdropping." ”

"What is eavesdropping, you didn't avoid it." Lin Ziqi immediately retorted.

"Can't you consciously not listen at all~" After complaining, Wu Bin replied: "An uncle who is an executive in a chip company seems to know it when he heard his subordinates mention my name." ”

"Wow! The executives of chip companies are so powerful. ”

At this time, Li Yan continued: "Do you want to persuade you to go to their company?" ”

"It's not, congratulations to me for publishing "Science", and by the way, I talked to me about the prospect of graphene, saying that Warwick is now vigorously entering."

"Warwick, chip or screen?" Li Yan thought about it and asked.

"I don't know, but the chip is still completely in the theoretical stage, and the screen is relatively reliable, but before that, it was still the same sentence, we have to solve the problem of output, otherwise graphene will always be just a plaything in the laboratory."

"Awesome, suddenly it feels like you're carrying the entire human world forward." Saying that, Li Yan made a gesture of looking up, "Wei'an." ”

"Pompous." Wu Bin shook his head and continued to walk forward.

After the three of them finished eating, Li Yan continued to go to the library to look for materials, while Wu Bin and Lin Ziqi went to the laboratory.

After a month of serious study, Wu Bin has greatly improved his computational materials science.

With the rapid development of science and technology, the research system is becoming more and more complex, and the traditional analytical and overturning methods are no longer enough.

However, with the development of computer science and the continuous improvement of computer computing power, computer materials science came into being, which provides a new means for the study of complex systems.

As an interdisciplinary science involving materials, physics, computer, mathematics, chemistry and other disciplines at the same time, its theoretical prediction is very strong, and of course, it is also known as the artifact of paper irrigation by many people.

In the past month, Wu Bin read two copies of Computational Materials Science, which have a high library rental rate, several times, and when he almost had his own framework, he borrowed a reference book called "The Theory of Embedded Atomic Methods and Its Application in Materials Science".

After reading it several times, Wu Bin found that his knowledge of ordinary physics and computer programming basics was enough to deal with this emerging discipline, but quantum mechanics was still almost tasteful.

This made Wu Bin make a plan for the next semester at once, and he had a good understanding of quantum mechanics, and if he could, it was not impossible to knock out the four powerhouses together.
