چکیده

A minimal parameter tight-binding molecular-dynamics scheme incorporating a Hubbard Hamiltonian for the treatment of magnetic effects is detailed. The computational efficiency of the scheme allows applications to cluster sizes well beyond the range of ab initio techniques. The method is used to obtain magnetic moments of Ni, Fe, and Co clusters in excellent agreement with experiment. @S0163-1829~98!01416-7#

Tight binding molecular dynamics study of Ni clusters

A minimal parameter tight binding molecular dynamics scheme is used to study Nin clusters with n<55. We present theoretical results for relaxed configurations of different symmetries, binding energies, and normal vibrational frequencies for these clusters. Our results are in good agreement with experiment and previous theoretical predictions. We also compare relative stabilities of fcc structur...

Tight-binding molecular dynamics simulations of semiconductor alloys: clusters, surfaces, and defects

We extend the tight-binding molecular dynamics technique to simulations of III–V semiconductor alloy clusters, surfaces, and defects. The total energy of the alloy system is calculated using a newly developed tight-binding parametrization of ab initio band structures of bulk alloys and their pure components, for different structures and lattice parameters. The nonlocal binding in the lattice is...

Generalized tight-binding molecular dynamics scheme for heteroatomic systems: Application to SimCn clusters

Generalized tight-binding molecular dynamics scheme is extended to treat heteroatomic interactions in covalent clusters. The simplicity of the method derives from the minimum number of adjustable parameters needed. Application to small and intermediate size SimCn clusters including SiC heterofullerenes show good agreement with experiment. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.13...

Putative Binding Sites of Dopamine and Arachidonoyl Dopamine to Beta-lactoglobulin: A Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics Study

Because of participation in many aspects of human life, and due to oxidation-sensitive characteristics of dopamine (DA) and arachidonoyl dopamine (AA-DA), the necessity of biocompatible carrier to keep them against oxidation is of importance. In this work, we explored the putative binding sites of DA and AA-DA to -lactoglobulin (BLG) as potent carrier. Docking results identified the binding si...
