Naitoh and Ono, by Simulating Couette flow, re­ cently measured the hardsphere viscosity coefficient for 108 hard spheres at the freezing density [1]. A pe­ riodic system undergoing homogeneous shear was studied with molecular dynamics. Similar calculations have also been carried out using the Lennard-Jones REE-EYRING potential [2-4]. At the freezing density Naitoh and Ono use a square­ "N ALDE...

We show that arbitrary phase space vector fields can be used to generate phase functions whose ensemble averages give the thermodynamic temperature. We describe conditions for the validity of these functions in periodic boundary systems and the Molecular Dynamics (MD) ensemble, and test them with a short-ranged potential MD simulation. 05.20.-y 05.20.Gd Typeset using REVTEX 1

Studies of atomistic mechanisms, energetics and dynamics of surface and interfacial processes using computer-based molecular dynamics simulations employing realistic interaction potentials, open new avenues in investigations of basic and technological problems. Recent results of such studies are discussed for. surface processing via laser irradiation, superheating, melting, and annealing; stabi...

A model glass is studied by classical molecular dynamics and the Vorono cells are determined at various times and temperatures. All their characteristics of physical interest are studied as a function of temperature. In particular, as temperature increases in the glass phase, the fraction of 4 and 6 edged faces (encircling disclination defect lines) increases at the cost of 5-edged faces. At th...
