Temperature control in molecular dynamic simulations of non-equilibrium processes.
Thermostats are often used in various condensed matter problems, e.g. when a biological molecule undergoes a transformation in a solution, a crystal surface is irradiated with energetic particles, a crack propagates in a solid upon applied stress, two surfaces slide with respect to each other, an excited local phonon dissipates its energy into a crystal bulk, and so on. In all of these problems...
متن کاملOn multiscale non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations
In this work, we set forth a multiscale non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (MS-NEMD) model. The main objectives of MS-NEMD model are: (1) establishing a rigorous NEMD that provides direct threedimensional simulations of thermal–mechanical motions at atomistic scale, and (2) providing a general computational paradigm for non-equilibrium multiscale simulations. The proposed MS-NEMD combines a coa...
متن کاملMolecular Simulations of Dynamic Processes of Solid Explosives
A variety of molecular dynamics simulations of energetic materials is presented, demonstrating the ability to predict structural and thermodynamic properties of these materials. The studies are also used to explore, at an atomic level, dynamic processes that might influence conversion of the material to products. These studies are are presented to illustrate how information generated through mo...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of a chemical reaction; conditions for local equilibrium in a temperature gradient.
We have examined a simple chemical reaction in a temperature gradient; 2F <==> F2. A mechanical model was used, based on Stillinger and Weber's 2- and 3-body potentials. Equilibrium and non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations showed that the chemical reaction is in local thermodynamic as well as in local chemical equilibrium (delta(r)G = 0) in the supercritical fluid, for temperature gra...
متن کاملUmbrella sampling in non-equilibrium computer simulations
We describe the application of the umbrella sampling technique well known from equilibrium Monte Carlo to dynamical, non-equilibrium simulations. This method is used specifically to calculate the nucleation barrier of Brownian Yukawa particles in a homogeneous shear flow. 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
