Materials may be modeled by a large number of particles (or atoms) where any particle interacting with any other through a pair potential energy. The equillibrium configuration of the material is the minimizer of the total energy of the system. The computational cost is high since the number of atoms is huge. Recently much attention has been paid to the so-called quasicontinuum (QC) approximation which is a mixed atomistic/continuum model.
