Comparison of thermostatting mechanisms in NVT and NPT simulations of decane under shear

Molecular simulation of dendrimers and their mixtures under shear: comparison of isothermal-isobaric (NpT) and isothermal-isochoric (NVT) ensemble systems.

Flow properties of dendrimers are studied with the aid of nonequilibrium molecular dynamics techniques. Simulations are performed in the NpT ensemble using the NpT-SLLOD algorithm [P. J. Davis and D. J. Evans, J. Chem. Phys. 100, 541 (1994)] and are compared to the results from simulations performed in the NVT ensemble reported earlier [J. T. Bosko, B. D. Todd, and R. J. Sadus, Chem. Phys. 121,...

بررسی فرآیند ذوب پریلین با استفاده از شبیه‌سازی دینامیک مولکولی

Melting process of perylene is investigated using molecular dynamics simulation. Some of thermodynamic properties such as potential energy and transition order parameter are calculated as a function of temperature in the range of 500 K-600 K. These calculations are performed by two different methods in NPT and NVT ensembles. The selected interaction potential is Re-squared and the simulations a...

Molecular dynamics simulation of planar elongational flow at constant pressure and constant temperature.

Molecular dynamics simulations of liquid systems under planar elongational flow have mainly been performed in the NVT ensemble. However, in most material processing techniques and common experimental settings, at least one surface of the fluid is kept in contact with the atmosphere, thus maintaining the sample in the NpT ensemble. For this reason, an implementation of the Nose-Hoover integral-f...

Reinterpretation of the bond-valence model with bond-order formalism: An improved bond-valence-based interatomic potential for PbTiO3

We present a modified bond-valence model of PbTiO3 based on the principles of bond-valence and bond-valence vector conservation. The relationship between the bond-valence model and the bond-order potential is derived analytically in the framework of a tight-binding model. An energy term, bond-valence vector energy, is introduced into the atomistic model and the potential parameters are reoptimi...
