Ab-initio path integral techniques for molecules
Path integral Monte Carlo with Green’s function analysis allows the sampling of quantum mechanical properties of molecules at finite temperature. While a high-precision computation of the energy of the Born-Oppenheimer surface from path integral Monte Carlo is quite costly, we can extract many properties without explicitly calculating the electronic energies. We demonstrate how physically relev...
متن کاملAb-Initio Molecular Dynamics
Computer simulation methods, such as Monte Carlo or Molecular Dynamics, are very powerful computational techniques that provide detailed and essentially exact information on classical many-body problems. With the advent of ab-initio molecular dynamics, where the forces are computed on-the-fly by accurate electronic structure calculations, the scope of either method has been greatly extended. Th...
متن کاملAb initio molecular dynamics.
In this chapter, an introduction to ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) has been given. Many of the basic concepts, like the Hellman-Feynman forces, the difference between the Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics and AIMD, have been explained. Also a very versatile AIMD code, the CP2K, has been introduced. On the application, the emphasis was on the aqueous systems and chemical reactions. The bioc...
متن کاملi-PI: A Python interface for ab initio path integral molecular dynamics simulations
Recent developments in path integral methodology have significantly reduced the computational expense of including quantum mechanical effects in the nuclear motion in ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. However, the implementation of these developments requires a considerable programming effort, which has hindered their adoption. Here we describe i-PI, an interface written in Python that ...
متن کاملParallel Ab-initio Molecular Dynamics
The Car-Parrinello ab-initio molecular dynamics method is heavily used in studies of the properties of materials, molecules etc. Our Car-Parrinello code, which is being continuously developed at CAMP, runs on several computer architectures. A parallel version of the program has been developed at CAMP based on message passing, currently using the PVM library. The parallel algorithm is based upon...
