Off-lattice Monte Carlo simulation of supramolecular polymer architectures.
We introduce an efficient, scalable Monte Carlo algorithm to simulate cross-linked architectures of freely jointed and discrete wormlike chains. Bond movement is based on the discrete tractrix construction, which effects conformational changes that exactly preserve fixed-length constraints of all bonds. The algorithm reproduces known end-to-end distance distributions for simple, analytically tr...
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...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulations of Off-Lattice Polymers
We point out that a newly introduced recursive algorithm for lattice polymers has a much wider range of applicability. In particular, we apply it to the simulation of off-lattice polymers with Lennard-Jones potentials between nonbonded monomers and either delta or harmonic potentials between bonded monomers. Our algorithm allows particularly easy calculations of the free energy, and seems in ge...
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 کاملApproximating Off-Lattice Kinetic Monte Carlo
We present an approximate off-lattice kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) method for simulating heteroepitaxial growth. The model aims to retain the speed and simplicity of lattice based KMC methods while capturing essential features that can arise in an off-lattice setting. Interactions between atoms are defined by an interatomic potential which determines the arrangement of the atoms. In this formulati...
