Samenvatting	Molecular Dynamics (MD) is a computational technique that simulates the motion of atoms and molecules by solving Newton's equations of motion under specified forces. Pioneered by Alder and Wainwright in 1957, MD integrates time-dependent atomic trajectories from initial positions, allowing prediction of material properties, phase transitions, and dynamic behavior. It bridges the gap between quantum mechanics (which determines interatomic forces) and macroscopic phenomena (accessible only through experiment), enabling study of timescales from femtoseconds to microseconds and length scales from angstroms to hundreds of nanometers.	Ising Model Monte Carlo simulation is a computational method for studying phase transitions and magnetic ordering in materials by stochastically sampling configurations of binary spins on a lattice. Originating from Ernst Ising's 1925 theoretical model and combined with Metropolis algorithm in 1953, Ising Monte Carlo enables exploration of thermodynamic properties at scales impossible to access analytically. Though a simplification, the Ising model captures essential physics of ferromagnetism, antiferromagnetism, and critical phenomena, and its mathematical structure extends to disorder, adsorption, and other binary-state systems.
