Abstract
This chapter begins with a description of the potential models commonly used in computer simulations of inorganic materials. Methods of parameterising these potentials are discussed, and an example of potential derivation is given. This leads into the second section of the chapter which gives some recent examples of simulations, based on energy minimisation methods.
