Pressure dependent study of the solid-solid phase change in 38-atom Lennard-Jones cluster.
Phase change phenomena in clusters are often modeled by augmenting physical interaction potentials with an external constraining potential to handle evaporation processes in finite temperature simulations. These external constraining potentials exert a pressure on the cluster. The influence of this constraining pressure on phase change phenomena in 38-atom Lennard-Jones clusters is investigated...
متن کاملTetrahedral global minimum for the 98-atom Lennard-Jones cluster.
An unusual atomic cluster structure corresponding to the global minimum of the 98-atom Lennard-Jones cluster has been found using a variant of the basin-hopping global optimization algorithm. The structure has tetrahedral symmetry and an energy of -543.665 361 epsilon, which is 0.022 404 epsilon lower than the previous lowest-energy minimum. The LJ(98) structure is of particular interest becaus...
متن کاملEnergy Landscape and Overlap Distribution of Binary Lennard-Jones Glasses
– We study the distribution of overlaps of glassy minima, taking proper care of residual symmetries of the system. Ensembles of locally stable, low lying glassy states are efficiently generated by rapid cooling from the liquid phase which has been equilibrated at a temperature Trun. Varying Trun, we observe a transition from a regime where a broad range of states are sampled to a regime where t...
متن کاملIsomerization rates and mechanisms for the 38-atom Lennard- Jones cluster determined using molecular dynamics and temperature accelerated molecular dynamics
We have simulated the isomerization of 38-atom Lennard-Jones clusters (LJ38) – a well-known prototype system for global-optimization and energy landscape analyses – over a wide range of temperatures using a combination of molecular dynamics (MD) and temperature accelerated dynamics (TAD). At high temperatures, we find that (surprisingly) MD with steepest descent quenches (MDSDQ) is effective fo...
متن کاملMetastability, spectrum, and eigencurrents of the Lennard-Jones-38 network.
We develop computational tools for spectral analysis of stochastic networks representing energy landscapes of atomic and molecular clusters. Physical meaning and some properties of eigenvalues, left and right eigenvectors, and eigencurrents are discussed. We propose an approach to compute a collection of eigenpairs and corresponding eigencurrents describing the most important relaxation process...
