Molecular Dynamics Simulations Beyond the Lennard- Jones Particles
The computational power of computers available to students has increased to the point that it is now feasible to build interactive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations that can be used in education [1]. Observing important physical processes, such as diffusion, phase transitions, selfassembly, chemical reactions and so on, emerging from the time evolution of an atomic-scale model was found usefu...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulations of DOPC Lipid Bilayers: The Effect of Lennard-Jones Parameters of Hydrocarbon Chains.
The current Chemistry at Harvard Molecular Mechanics (CHARMM) force field cannot accurately describe the properties of unsaturated phospholipid membranes. In this paper, a series of simulations was performed in which the Lennard-Jones (L-J) parameters of lipid acyl chains of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) were systematically adjusted. The results showed that adjustment of the L-J parameters...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of nucleation from vapor to solid composed of Lennard-Jones molecules.
We performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of nucleation from vapor at temperatures below the triple point for systems consisting of 10(4)-10(5) Lennard-Jones (L-J) type molecules in order to test nucleation theories at relatively low temperatures. Simulations are performed for a wide range of initial supersaturation ratio (S(0) ≃ 10-10(8)) and temperature (kT = 0.2-0.6ε), where ε and k a...
متن کاملThermal conductivity decomposition and analysis using molecular dynamics simulations. Part I. Lennard-Jones argon
Using molecular dynamics simulations and the Green–Kubo method, the thermal transport in the Lennard-Jones argon face centered cubic crystal is described by two time constants related to the decay of the heat current autocorrelation function. The first time scale is associated with short wavelength acoustic phonons that have mean free paths equal to one half of their wavelength. The associated ...
متن کاملAccurate freezing and melting equations for the Lennard-Jones system.
Analyzing three approximate methods to locate liquid-solid coexistence in simple systems, an observation is made that all of them predict the same functional dependence of the temperature on density at freezing and melting of the conventional Lennard-Jones (LJ) system. The emerging equations can be written as T=Aρ(4)+Bρ(2) in normalized units. We suggest to determine the values of the coefficie...
