Q: What are the best study materials for understanding Ewald summation?

AI Thread Summary
Ewald summation is a mathematical technique used to calculate long-range interactions in periodic systems, particularly in the fields of physics and materials science. For a master's thesis focused on Ewald summation, comprehensive study materials are essential. While academic papers provide valuable insights, they often lack detailed explanations. Recommended resources include textbooks that cover both theoretical and computational aspects of Ewald summation, as well as online educational platforms that offer lectures or tutorials. The Wikipedia page on Ewald summation serves as a basic introduction but should be supplemented with more in-depth materials for a thorough understanding. Engaging with both theoretical frameworks and computational methods will enhance the study of Ewald summation over the course of the year-long research project.

I'm doing my masters thesis on ewald summation, I am searching for proper study materials for that... what I have is only papers(which you know doesnot explain everything they do!). It would be of great help if you can find me a few sources.. Please help. Thanks.

I am going to do a year long study, so be it theoretical or computational, if you know of any book that will help me understand the processes of ewald summation please reply.
Thanks.
here is a small detail of ewald summation-

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
