چکیده

The ensemble average is calculated as a time average from a molecular dynamics simulations in the canonical (NVT) ensemble. The coupling parameter, λ, is chosen such that the Hamiltonian is changed from describing the bound state to describing the free state of the Zn ion. If the transformation process is reversible, the free energy change is independent of the reaction path and only depends on the initial and final states. Therefore we are free to choose the path of integration in Eq. (1) as long as the reversibility condition is met. Determining differences between two large numbers, as is the case in Eq. (1), can be problematic since the statistical errors involved are large as well. If λ is constructed wisely, large energy differences and their errors can be made to cancel in the final result. In general

Vibrational analysis for the nuclear–electronic orbital method

The methodology for a vibrational analysis within the nuclear–electronic orbital ~NEO! framework is presented. In the NEO approach, specified nuclei are treated quantum mechanically on the same level as the electrons, and mixed nuclear–electronic wave functions are calculated variationally with molecular orbital methods. Both electronic and nuclear molecular orbitals are expressed as linear com...
