Scalar Properties, Static Correlations and Order Parameters

What do we get out of a simulation?

• Static properties: pressure, specific heat, etc.
• Density
• Pair correlations in real space and Fourier space
• Order parameters and broken symmetry: How to tell a liquid from a solid
• Dynamical properties –next lecture
