The phrase "atomistic view" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in discussions related to philosophy, science, or social theory, where a perspective focuses on individual components rather than the whole.
Example: "The atomistic view of society suggests that understanding individual behaviors is essential to grasping larger social dynamics."
Alternatives: "reductionist perspective" or "individualistic approach".
Datta, S. Electrical resistance: an atomistic view.
The methods described involve an atomistic view of the molecules involved; however the modeling techniques themselves are very different from one another.
This philosophy has found its most successful application in natural science: according to the atomistic view, the material universe is composed of minute particles, which are considered to be relatively simple and immutable and too small to be visible.

This episodic, atomistic view of science is particularly regrettable: it turns students away from studying science, and perhaps worse yet, defeats our efforts to produce a scientifically literate society.
In light of the above scenario, we carried out a 0.1 μs molecular dynamics investigation of NPs with the aim of providing a high-resolution atomistic view of specific of their conformational ensemble in solution.
This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: NMR Spectroscopy for Atomistic Views of Biomembranes and Cell Surfaces.
Theories of recognition hereby provide the ground for a critique of atomistic views of subjectivity (especially in Taylor 1989, part I).
Atomistic views also make their appearance in the Principia, where Newton claimed "the least parts of bodies to be all extended, and hard and impenetrable, and moveable, and endowed with their proper inertia" (Cajori, 1962, 399).
The link between the atomistic views held by Mu'tazilite theology and Greek atomism was in all likelihood the doxographical literature on the ancient physical doctrines; however, the details of this transmission are matter of debate: see Pines (1936), Baffioni (1982), Dhanani (1994) and Sabra (2006); see also the overview by Baffioni (2011).
In recent years, many techniques have been developed to study the folding of water-soluble proteins and together these have yielded a near-atomistic view of the folding landscapes of many such proteins [31].
