چکیده
We have designed several schemes to reduce the number of parameters in the problem of minimizing the total energy of Lennard Jones clusters We will discuss our schemes development in three dimensions The value of our work lies in the simplicity with which it provides a new approach to problems involving huge Lennard Jones clusters

Approximate energy minimization for large Lennard-Jones clusters
We have designed a simple method to place particles on lattices, concentric shells and icosahedral concentric layers for minimizing the total energy of Lennard-Jones clusters, approximately, by analytical means. The most signiicant diierence of our schemes from others is the dramatic reduction of parameters, which allows the study of large clusters, not possible otherwise. We present the deriva...
متن کاملLennard-Jones Energy Parameter for Pure Fluids from Scaled Particle Theory
By considering the fact that the surface tension of a real fluid arises from a combination of both repulsive and attractive forces between molecules, a new expression for the interfacial tension has been derived from scaled particle theory (SPT) based on the work of cavity formation and the interaction energy between molecules. At the critical temperature, the interfacial tension between c...
متن کاملThe Hybrid Idea of Optimization Methods Applied to the Energy Minimization of (Prion) Protein Structures Focusing on the beta2-alpha2 Loop
In molecular mechanics, current generation potential energy functions provide a reasonably good compromise between accuracy and effectiveness. This paper firstly reviewed several most commonly used classical potential energy functions and their optimization methods used for energy minimization. To minimize a potential energy function, about 95% efforts are spent on the Lennard-Jones potential o...

We recently discovered 5 new putative globally optimum configurations for Morse clusters at ρ = 8. This report contains some algorithmic details as well as the structures 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 str...
