Monte Carlo simulation of dense polymer melts using event chain algorithms.
We propose an efficient Monte Carlo algorithm for the off-lattice simulation of dense hard sphere polymer melts using cluster moves, called event chains, which allow for a rejection-free treatment of the excluded volume. Event chains also allow for an efficient preparation of initial configurations in polymer melts. We parallelize the event chain Monte Carlo algorithm to further increase simula...
متن کاملLattice Monte Carlo simulations of polymer melts.
We use Monte Carlo simulations to study polymer melts consisting of fully flexible and moderately stiff chains in the bond fluctuation model at a volume fraction 0.5. In order to reduce the local density fluctuations, we test a pre-packing process for the preparation of the initial configurations of the polymer melts, before the excluded volume interaction is switched on completely. This proces...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Long Chain Polymer Melts: Crossover from Rouse to Reptation Dynamics
We present data of Monte Carlo simulations for monodisperse linear polymer chains in dense melts with degrees of polymerization between N = 16 and N = 512. The aim of this study is to investigate the crossover from Rouselike dynamics for short chains to reptation-like dynamics for long chains. To address this problem we calculate a variety of different quantities: standard mean-square displacem...
متن کاملDynamics of Glassy Polymer Melts in Confined Geometry: A Monte Carlo Simulation
Dynamic properties of a dense polymer melt confined between two hard watts are investigated over a wide range of temperatures by dynamic Monte Carlo simulation. The temperature interval ranges from the ordinary Iiquid to the strongly supercooled melt. The influence of temperature, density aud confinement on the polymer dynamics is studied by vanous mean-square displacements, structural relaxati...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Lattice Polymer Models
Polymers are substances whose molecules have high molar masses and are composed of a large number of repeating units. They occur naturally, and are also produced in large quantities. The materials commonly called plastics are all synthetic polymers. Polymers consist of a large number of units called monomers, which are joined sequentially to form a long chain. Perhaps the simplest polymer is po...
