the mechanical properties including elastic stiffness constants as well as bulk modulus of palladium (pd) nanowire were calculated in the constant temperature and pressure (npt), ensemble by molecular dynamics (md) simulation technique. the quantum sutton-chen (q-sc) many-body potential was used to calculate the cohesive energy as well as forces experience by every atoms. the temperature and pr...

in this study, we have investigated radius dependence of hydrogen storage within armchair (n,n) single walled carbon nanotubes (swcnt) in a square arrays. to this aim, we have employed equilibrium molecular dynamics (md) simulation. our simulations results reveal that radius of carbon nanotubes are an important and influent factor in hydrogen distribution inside carbon nanotubes and consequentl...

advanced technologies in molecular biology and modern experimental biophysics heavily rely not only on the knowledge of structure of essential proteins but also on their structural dynamics. the function of these bimolecular systems and the pathways along which the biological phenomena take place can be determined based on the knowledge of the molecular structure and behavior. as such, the simp...

potassium channels allow potassium flux and are essential for the generation of electric current acrossexcitable membranes. potassium channels are also the targets of various intracellular controlmechanisms; such that the suboptimal regulation of channel function might be related to pathologicalconditions. realistic studies of ion current in biologic channels present a major challenge for compu...

We present a non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation of 125 methane molecules using a variant of the isokinetic “sllod” algorithm. The shear viscosity, pressure and internal energy of methane in a dense, supercritical fluid state (temperature 285.7 K and mass density 0.288 g/cm3) are calculated and the viscosity compared with experiment, with excellent agreement: the predicted shear visco...

In this work, we study the thermal energy transport properties of twin graphene, which has been introduced recently as a new two-dimensional carbon nanostructure. The conductivity is investigated using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulation and employing Fourier’s law. We examine effects length, temperature, also uniaxial strain along with both armchair zigzag directions. found th...

In this review, we discuss the Dynamical approach to Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (D-NEMD), which extends stationary NEMD to time-dependent situations, be they responses or relaxations. Based on the original Onsager regression hypothesis, implemented in the nineteen-seventies by Ciccotti, Jacucci and MacDonald, the approach permits one to separate the problem of dynamical evolution from t...

: We present a fabrication process of low-cost superlattices and simulations related with the heat dissipation on them. The influence of the interfacial roughness on the thermal conductivity of semiconductor/semiconductor superlattices was studied by equilibrium and non-equilibrium molecular dynamics and on the Kapitza resistance of superlattice's interfaces by equilibrium molecular dynamics.
