We recently discovered 5 new putative globally optimum configurations for Morse clusters at ρ = 8. This report contains the main algorithmic details as well as the structure determined with our method. Methodology After the success obtained in solving minimum energy conformation problems for Lennard-Jones clusters (see [LS02] and [LS03]) we recently adapted our twophase monotonic basin-hopping ...

Using classical molecular dynamics simulations, we have studied thermal boundary conductance (TBC) between a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) and surrounding Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluids. With an aim to identify a general model that explains the TBC for various surrounding materials, TBC was calculated for three different surrounding LJ fluids, hydrogen, nitrogen, and argon in supercritical ph...

Heterogeneous nucleation of a liquid droplet on a solid surface was simulated with the molecular dynamics method. Argon vapor was represented by 5,760 Lennard-Jones molecules and the solid surface was represented by one layer of 4,464 harmonic molecules with the constant temperature heat bath model using the phantom molecules. The potential parameter between a solid molecule and a vapor molecul...

Abstract: The block-tridiagonal matrix structure is a common feature in Hamiltonians of models of transport. By allowing for a complex Bloch parameter in the boundary conditions, the Hamiltonian matrix and its transfer matrix are related by a spectral duality. As a consequence, I derive the distribution of the exponents of the transfer matrix in terms of the spectral density of the non-Hermitia...
