Development of molecular dynamics methodology for simulations of hard materials
This thesis is focused on molecular dynamics simulations, both classical and ab initio. It is devoted to development of new methods and applications of molecular dynamics based techniques to a series of materials, all of which have the common property of being hard. I first study grain boundaries in diamond and apply a novel method to better explore the configurational phase space. Using this m...
متن کاملA B INITIO CALCULATION OF THE KC1 PHONON FREQUENCIES
We have calculated the phonon frequencies of KC1 along symmetry directions using an approach which is a combination of the frozen phonon and force constants methods. We also calculated Griineisen parameters for all modes at X and L points in the Brillouin zone. Finally, the slope of acoustic dispersion curves around zone center were used to calculate the three independent elastic coefficien...
متن کاملOnset of Magnetic Order in Strongly-Correlated Systems from ab initio Electronic Structure Calculations: Application to Transition Metal Oxides
We describe an ab initio theory of finite temperature magnetism in strongly-correlated electron systems. The formalism is based on spin density functional theory, with a self-interaction corrected local spin density approximation (SIC-LSDA). The self-interaction correction is implemented locally, within the KKR multiplescattering method. Thermally induced magnetic fluctuations are treated using...

Vinblastine is an important anticancer agent known to diminish microtubule assembly. Ab initio calculations are applied to examine the structural properties and different energies of vinblastine-tubulin complex in different dielectric constants and temperatures. The aims of this work are discovery the best optimized structure and thermodynamic properties of vinblastine-tubulin complex ...
متن کاملFirst principles force field for metallic tantalum
We develop a many-body force field (FF) for tantalum based on extensive ab initio quantum mechanical (QM) calculations and illustrate its application with molecular dynamics (MD). As input data to the FF we use ab initio methods (LAPW-GGA) to calculate: (i) the zero temperature equation of state (EOS) of Ta for bcc, fcc, and hcp crystal structures for pressures up to ∼500 GPa, and (ii) elastic ...
