Computing Equilibrium Free Energies Using Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics
As shown by Jarzynski, free energy differences between equilibrium states can be expressed in terms of the statistics of work carried out on a system during non-equilibrium transformations. This exact result, as well as the related Crooks fluctuation theorem, provide the basis for the computation of free energy differences from fast switching molecular dynamics simulations, in which an external...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium Molecular Dynamics
Statistical mechanics provides a well-established link between microscopic equilibrium states and thermodynamics. If one considers systems out of equilibrium, the link between microscopic dynamical properties and nonequilibrium macroscopic states is more difficult to establish [1,2]. For systems lying near equilibrium, linear response theory provides a route to derive linear macroscopic laws an...
متن کاملDynamical Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics
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...
متن کاملOn multiscale non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations
In this work, we set forth a multiscale non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (MS-NEMD) model. The main objectives of MS-NEMD model are: (1) establishing a rigorous NEMD that provides direct threedimensional simulations of thermal–mechanical motions at atomistic scale, and (2) providing a general computational paradigm for non-equilibrium multiscale simulations. The proposed MS-NEMD combines a coa...
متن کاملEquilibrium Free Energies from Nonequilibrium Processes *
A recent result, relating the (irreversible) work performed on a system during a non-quasistatic process, to the Helmholtz free energy difference between two equilibrium states of the system, is discussed. A proof of this result is given for the special case when the evolution of the system in question is modelled by a Langevin equation in configuration space. My purpose in this talk is to pres...
