La Dinamica Molecolare e l’Insegnamento della Fisica della Materia Condensata nelle Scuole Superiori

In this paper we discuss molecular dynamics, a numerical technique successfully employed since thirty years in research to solve the equations of motion in many body systems. We propose using molecular dynamics as a tool in high school teaching of condensed Matter Physics. Moreover we illustrate a simple code in Pascal, running on IBM compatible PCs, which allows to simulate simple interesting systems, and we present some results.
