Self-consistent tight-binding molecular-dynamics method for cluster studies

چکیده
The Hubbard-type tight-binding ~TB! Hamiltonian is generalized to incorporate effects of charge transfer efficiently into the TB ~Slater-Koster-type! parameters. The generalization is such that charge transfer as well as Madelung-type interactions are included in a self-consistent manner. In particular, the intrasite Coulomb interactions of our Hubbard Hamiltonian are calculated from the chemical hardness matrices, and are used to modify the diagonal elements of the TB Hamiltonian. The proposed computational scheme is applied in the studies of Si and Ni clusters. @S0163-1829~99!02123-2#

Self-consistent tight binding molecular dynamics study of TiO2 nanoclusters in water
Self-consistent tight binding molecular dynamics studies of TiO2 anatase and rutile nanoclusters in dissociable water are reported. It is found that the structure of the particle expands as a result of interaction between the particle’s surface and water. Water molecules dissociate at the nanoparticle surface during simulation. ! 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملDFTB-MD Simulation of Shocked Water Cluster
Relatively efficient and precise quantum molecular dynamics simulations were performed to gain fundamental insights into the mechanisms for the primary detonation process of water under shock wave loading using self-consistent charge density-functional tight binding (SCC-DFTB) calculations combined with the multiscale shock technique (MSST) as well as DFTB+ program conjunct with MSST. We observ...

Zoanthamine-type alkaloids display a wide spectrum of biological effects. This study aimed to examine the inhibitory effects of norzoanthamine and its ten homologues of zoanthamine class on human fibroblast collagenase by modeling a three-dimensional structure of the ligands at collagenase using energy minimization, docking, molecular dynamics simulation and MM-PB/GBSA binding free energy calcu...

متن کاملSelf consistent direct dynamics studies of interfaces.
To reach the goal of prediction of electrochemical behavior from first principles, it appears increasingly evident that an intermediate stage, between ab initio calculation and Monte Carlo or classical molecular dynamics, will be required. Here we report progress on the development of such an intermediate computational method, using a self consistent tight binding approach, and report some prel...
