A Modified Divide-and-Conquer Linear-Scaling Quantum Force Field with Multipolar Charge Densities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent advances in biomolecular modeling have emphasized the importance of inclusion of explicit electronic polarizabilty, and a description of electrostatic interactions that includes atomic multipoles; however, these additional levels of treatment necessarily increase a model’s computational cost. Ultimately, the decision as to whether inclusion of these more rigorous levels are justified rests on the degree to which they impact the specific application areas of interest, balanced with the overhead of their computational cost. The purpose of this book is to stimulate the exchange of effective

Multipolar Ewald Methods, 1: Theory, Accuracy, and Performance
The Ewald, Particle Mesh Ewald (PME), and Fast Fourier–Poisson (FFP) methods are developed for systems composed of spherical multipole moment expansions. A unified set of equations is derived that takes advantage of a spherical tensor gradient operator formalism in both real space and reciprocal space to allow extension to arbitrary multipole order. The implementation of these methods into a no...
متن کاملMultipolar Ewald Methods, 2: Applications Using a Quantum Mechanical Force Field
A fully quantum mechanical force field (QMFF) based on a modified “divide-and-conquer” (mDC) framework is applied to a series of molecular simulation applications, using a generalized Particle Mesh Ewald method extended to multipolar charge densities. Simulation results are presented for three example applications: liquid water, p-nitrophenylphosphate reactivity in solution, and crystalline N,N...
متن کاملMultimillion Atom Reactive Simulations of Nanostructured Energetic Materials
For large-scale atomistic simulations involving chemical reactions to study nanostructured energeticmaterials, we have designed linear-scaling molecular dynamics algorithms: 1) first-principles-based fast reactive force field molecular dynamics, and 2) embedded divide-and-conquer density functional theory on adaptive multigrids for quantum-mechanical molecular dynamics. These algorithms have ac...
متن کاملA variational linear-scaling framework to build practical, efficient next-generation orbital-based quantum force fields.
We introduce a new hybrid molecular orbital/density-functional modified divide-and-conquer (mDC) approach that allows the linear-scaling calculation of very large quantum systems. The method provides a powerful framework from which linear-scaling force fields for molecular simulations can be developed. The method is variational in the energy, and has simple, analytic gradients and essentially n...
متن کاملA divide-and-conquer linear scaling three-dimensional fragment method for large scale electronic structure calculations
We present a new linear scaling ab initio total energy electronic structure calculation method based on a divide-and-conquer strategy. This method is simple to implement, easy to parallelize, and produces accurate results when compared with direct ab initio methods. The new method has been tested on nanosystems with up to 15 000 atoms using up to 8000 processors. (Some figures in this article a...
