A Parallel Molecular-Dynamics Simulation of Crystal Growth at a Cluster of Workstations
نویسنده
چکیده
To enable a simulation of the growth of crystalline fibers at a cluster of workstations, I developed a parallel molecular-dynamics (MD) algorithm. The structure of the MD algorithm is described briefly, together with its parallelization. Some specific features of our application will be discussed and an illustration of the program performance will be given.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Potassium Chloride Melting (II. Constant Volume and Constant Pressure Simulation of Filled System)
We have used a simple ionic potential to simulate the melting of KCI pseudo-infinite crystal. Two MD simulations, one with constant Volume and the other with constant pressure condition are performed. These results are compared with the previous micro-sample simulation results. In the constant volume simulation the melting temperature increase substantially with increasing pressure. A method fo...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulation of Al Energetic Nano Cluster Impact (ECI) onto the Surface
On the atomic scale, Molecular Dynamic (MD) Simulation of Nano Al cluster impact on Al (100) substrate surface has been carried out for energies of 1-20 eV/atom to understand quantitatively the interaction mechanisms between the cluster atoms and the substrate atoms. The many body Embedded Atom Method (EAM) was used in this simulation. We investigated the maximum substrate temperature Tmax and...
