This work is aimed at
investigating the atomic structure of amorphous solids
through computer simulations. Amorphous, solids, unlike
crystalline materials lack long-range translational order or
periodicity characteristics of crystals. With the growing
computing capabilities and hardware improvements, computer
simulation provides an alternate route to probe the
amorphous nature of materials in an effective manner. Also,
some of the computer simulating techniques employed in this
work includes, the molecular dynamics, activation
relaxation, and Monte Carlo based methods. This work also
covers the applications and role of computer simulations.
