Micellar crystals in solution from molecular dynamics simulations.
Polymers with both soluble and insoluble blocks typically self-assemble into micelles, which are aggregates of a finite number of polymers where the soluble blocks shield the insoluble ones from contact with the solvent. Upon increasing concentration, these micelles often form gels that exhibit crystalline order in many systems. In this paper, we present a study of both the dynamics and the equ...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulation of Micellar Shape Change in Amphiphilic Solution∗)
Micellar shape change in an amphiphilic solution is investigated by a molecular dynamics simulation of coarse-grained semiflexible amphiphilic molecules with explicit solvent molecules. Our simulations show that a cylindrical micelle is obtained at small molecular rigidity while a disc-shaped micelle appears at large molecular rigidity. We find that most chains are in an extended conformation a...
متن کاملMolecular-dynamics simulations of urea nucleation from aqueous solution.
Despite its ubiquitous character and relevance in many branches of science and engineering, nucleation from solution remains elusive. In this framework, molecular simulations represent a powerful tool to provide insight into nucleation at the molecular scale. In this work, we combine theory and molecular simulations to describe urea nucleation from aqueous solution. Taking advantage of well-tem...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of structure and dynamics of organic molecular crystals.
A set of model compounds covering a range of polarity and flexibility have been simulated using GAFF, CHARMM22, OPLS and MM3 force fields to examine how well classical molecular dynamics simulations can reproduce structural and dynamic aspects of organic molecular crystals. Molecular structure, crystal structure and thermal motion, including molecular reorientations and internal rotations, foun...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of coherent optical photon emission from shock waves in crystals
We have previously predicted that coherent electromagnetic radiation in the 1–100 THz frequency range can be generated in crystalline polarizable materials when subject to a shock wave or solitonlike propagating excitation E. J. Reed et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 013904 2006 . In this work, we present analysis and molecular dynamics simulations of shock waves in crystalline NaCl which expand upo...
