|
|
| 796 |

Calculating the long-range (non-bonded) potential involves a sum over |
| 797 |
< |
all pairs of atoms (except for those atoms which are involved in a |
| 782 |
< |
bond, bend, or torsion with each other). If done poorly, calculating |
| 783 |
< |
the the long-range interactions for $N$ atoms would involve $N(N-1)/2$ |
| 784 |
< |
evaluations of atomic distances. To reduce the number of distance |
| 785 |
< |
evaluations between pairs of atoms, {\sc OpenMD} uses a switched cutoff |
| 786 |
< |
with Verlet neighbor lists.\cite{Allen87} It is well known that |
| 787 |
< |
neutral groups which contain charges will exhibit pathological forces |
| 788 |
< |
unless the cutoff is applied to the neutral groups evenly instead of |
| 789 |
< |
to the individual atoms.\cite{leach01:mm} {\sc OpenMD} allows users to |
| 790 |
< |
specify cutoff groups which may contain an arbitrary number of atoms |
| 791 |
< |
in the molecule. Atoms in a cutoff group are treated as a single unit |
| 792 |
< |
for the evaluation of the switching function: |
| 793 |
< |
\begin{equation} |
| 794 |
< |
V_{\mathrm{long-range}} = \sum_{a} \sum_{b>a} s(r_{ab}) \sum_{i \in a} \sum_{j \in b} V_{ij}(r_{ij}), |
| 795 |
< |
\end{equation} |
| 796 |
< |
where $r_{ab}$ is the distance between the centers of mass of the two |
| 797 |
< |
cutoff groups ($a$ and $b$). |

| 798 |
|
|
| 799 |
< |
The sums over $a$ and $b$ are over the cutoff groups that are present |
| 800 |
< |
in the simulation. Atoms which are not explicitly defined as members |
| 801 |
< |
of a {\tt cutoffGroup} are treated as a group consisting of only one |
| 802 |
< |
atom. The switching function, $s(r)$ is the standard cubic switching |
| 803 |
< |
function, |

The classical potential energy function for a system composed of $N$ |
| 800 |

molecules is traditionally written |
| 801 |
|
\begin{equation} |
| 802 |
< |
S(r) = |
| 803 |
< |
\begin{cases} |
| 804 |
< |
1 & \text{if $r \le r_{\text{sw}}$},\\ |
| 808 |
< |
\frac{(r_{\text{cut}} + 2r - 3r_{\text{sw}})(r_{\text{cut}} - r)^2} |
| 809 |
< |
{(r_{\text{cut}} - r_{\text{sw}})^3} |
| 810 |
< |
& \text{if $r_{\text{sw}} < r \le r_{\text{cut}}$}, \\ |
| 811 |
< |
0 & \text{if $r > r_{\text{cut}}$.} |
| 812 |
< |
\end{cases} |
| 813 |

V = \sum^{N}_{I=1} V^{I}_{\text{Internal}} |

Here, $r_{\text{sw}}$ is the {\tt switchingRadius}, or the distance |
| 807 |
< |
beyond which interactions are reduced, and $r_{\text{cut}}$ is the |
| 808 |
< |
{\tt cutoffRadius}, or the distance at which interactions are |

truncated. |

and $V^{IJ}_{\text{Cross}}$ contains all intermolecular interactions |

between molecules $I$ and $J$. For large molecules, the internal |

van der Waals interactions. |

|
|
| 813 |
< |
Users of {\sc OpenMD} do not need to specify the {\tt cutoffRadius} or |
| 814 |
< |
{\tt switchingRadius}. In simulations containing only Lennard-Jones |
| 815 |
< |
atoms, the cutoff radius has a default value of $2.5\sigma_{ii}$, |
| 816 |
< |
where $\sigma_{ii}$ is the largest Lennard-Jones length parameter |
| 817 |
< |
present in the simulation. In simulations containing charged or |
| 825 |
< |
dipolar atoms, the default cutoff radius is $15 \mbox{\AA}$. |
| 826 |
< |
|
| 827 |
< |
The {\tt switchingRadius} is set to a default value of 95\% of the |
| 828 |
< |
{\tt cutoffRadius}. In the special case of a simulation containing |
| 829 |
< |
{\it only} Lennard-Jones atoms, the default switching radius takes the |
| 830 |
< |
same value as the cutoff radius, and {\sc OpenMD} will use a shifted |
| 831 |
< |
potential to remove discontinuities in the potential at the cutoff. |
| 832 |
< |
Both radii may be specified in the meta-data file. |

The types of atoms being simulated, as well as the specific functional |
| 814 |

forms and parameters of the intra-molecular functions and the |
| 815 |

long-range potentials are defined by the force field. In the following |

types of information. The blocks contain AtomType data, which provide |
| 823 |

properties belonging to a single AtomType, as well as interaction |

The most basic force field implemented in {\sc OpenMD} is the |
| 830 |

Lennard-Jones force field, which mimics the van der Waals interaction |

at long distances and uses an empirical repulsion at short |

distances. The Lennard-Jones potential is given by: |

An AtomType the primary data structure that OpenMD uses to store |
| 918 |

static data about an atom. Things that belong to AtomType are |
| 919 |
> |
universal properties (i.e. does this atom have a fixed charge? What |
| 920 |
> |
is its mass?) Dynamic properties of an atom are not intended to be |
| 921 |

properties of an atom type. A BaseAtomType can be used to build |
| 922 |
> |
extended sets of related atom types that all fall back to one |
| 923 |
> |
particular type. For example, one might want a series of atomTypes |
| 924 |
> |
that inherit from more basic types: |
| 925 |
> |
\begin{displaymath} |
| 926 |

\mathtt{ALA-CA} \rightarrow \mathtt{CT} \rightarrow \mathtt{CSP3} \rightarrow \mathtt{C} |
| 927 |
> |
\end{displaymath} |
| 928 |
> |
where for each step to the right, the atomType falls back to more |
| 929 |
> |
primitive data. That is, the mass could be a property of the {\tt C} |
| 930 |
> |
type, while Lennard-Jones parameters could be properties of the {\tt |
| 931 |
> |
CSP3} type. {\tt CT} could have charge information and its own set |
| 932 |
> |
of Lennard-Jones parameter that override the CSP3 parameters. And the |
| 933 |
> |
{\tt ALA-CA} type might have specific torsion or charge information |
| 934 |
> |
that override the lower level types. A BaseAtomType contains only |
| 935 |

information a primitive name and the mass of this atom type. |
| 936 |

BaseAtomTypes can also be useful in creating files that can be easily |

The dipolar unified-atom force field ({\sc duff}) was developed to |
| 1073 |
< |
simulate lipid bilayers. These types of simulations require a model |
| 1074 |
< |
capable of forming bilayers, while still being sufficiently |
| 1075 |
< |
computationally efficient to allow large systems ($\sim$100's of |
| 1076 |
< |
phospholipids, $\sim$1000's of waters) to be simulated for long times |
| 1077 |
< |
($\sim$10's of nanoseconds). With this goal in mind, {\sc duff} has no |
| 1078 |
< |
point charges. Charge-neutral distributions are replaced with dipoles, |
| 1079 |
< |
while most atoms and groups of atoms are reduced to Lennard-Jones |
| 1080 |
< |
interaction sites. This simplification reduces the length scale of |
| 1081 |
< |
long range interactions from $\frac{1}{r}$ to $\frac{1}{r^3}$, |
| 1082 |
< |
removing the need for the computationally expensive Ewald |
| 1083 |
< |
sum. Instead, Verlet neighbor-lists and cutoff radii are used for the |
| 1084 |
< |
dipolar interactions, and, if desired, a reaction field may be added |
| 1085 |
< |
to mimic longer range interactions. |

As an example, lipid head-groups in {\sc duff} are represented as |
| 910 |
< |
point dipole interaction sites. Placing a dipole at the head group's |
| 911 |
< |
center of mass mimics the charge separation found in common |
| 912 |
< |
phospholipid head groups such as phosphatidylcholine.\cite{Cevc87} |
| 913 |
< |
Additionally, a large Lennard-Jones site is located at the |
| 914 |
< |
pseudoatom's center of mass. The model is illustrated by the red atom |
| 915 |
< |
in Fig.~\ref{fig:lipidModel}. The water model we use to |

A set of scalable parameters has been used to model the alkyl groups |
| 1104 |
< |
with Lennard-Jones sites. For this, parameters from the TraPPE force |
| 1105 |
< |
field of Siepmann \emph{et al.}\cite{Siepmann1998} have been |
| 934 |
< |
utilized. TraPPE is a unified-atom representation of n-alkanes which |
| 935 |
< |
is parametrized against phase equilibria using Gibbs ensemble Monte |
| 936 |
< |
Carlo simulation techniques.\cite{Siepmann1998} One of the advantages |
| 937 |
< |
of TraPPE is that it generalizes the types of atoms in an alkyl chain |
| 938 |
< |
to keep the number of pseudoatoms to a minimum; thus, the parameters |
| 939 |
< |
for a unified atom such as $\text{CH}_2$ do not change depending on |
| 940 |
< |
what species are bonded to it. |
| 941 |
< |
|
| 942 |
< |
As is required by TraPPE, {\sc duff} also constrains all bonds to be |
| 943 |
< |
of fixed length. Typically, bond vibrations are the fastest motions in |
| 944 |
< |
a molecular dynamic simulation. With these vibrations present, small |
| 945 |
< |
time steps between force evaluations must be used to ensure adequate |
| 946 |
< |
energy conservation in the bond degrees of freedom. By constraining |
| 947 |
< |
the bond lengths, larger time steps may be used when integrating the |
| 948 |
< |
equations of motion. A simulation using {\sc duff} is illustrated in |
| 949 |

\begin{equation} |

For complex charge distributions that are centered on single sites, it |

is convenient to write the total electrostatic potential in terms of |

multipole moments, |

\begin{equation} |

V_{\text{torsion}}(\phi) = c_1[1 + \cos \phi] |

where the multipole operator on site $\bf a$, |

\cos\phi = (\hat{\mathbf{r}}_{ij} \times \hat{\mathbf{r}}_{jk}) \cdot |

\frac{\partial^2}{\partial r_{\alpha} \partial r_{\beta}} + \dots |

Here, $\hat{\mathbf{r}}_{\alpha\beta}$ are the set of unit bond |
| 1146 |
< |
vectors between atoms $i$, $j$, $k$, and $l$. For computational |
| 1147 |
< |
efficiency, the torsion potential has been recast after the method of |
| 1148 |
< |
{\sc charmm},\cite{Brooks83} in which the angle series is converted to |
| 1149 |
< |
a power series of the form: |
| 1150 |
< |
\begin{equation} |
| 1151 |
< |
V_{\text{torsion}}(\phi) = |
| 1152 |
< |
k_3 \cos^3 \phi + k_2 \cos^2 \phi + k_1 \cos \phi + k_0, |
| 1153 |
< |
\label{eq:torsionPot} |
| 1154 |
< |
\end{equation} |
| 1155 |
< |
where: |
| 1156 |
< |
\begin{align*} |
| 1157 |
< |
k_0 &= c_1 + c_3, \\ |
| 1158 |
< |
k_1 &= c_1 - 3c_3, \\ |
| 1041 |
< |
k_2 &= 2 c_2, \\ |
| 1042 |
< |
k_3 &= 4c_3. |
| 1043 |
< |
\end{align*} |
| 1044 |
< |
By recasting the potential as a power series, repeated trigonometric |
| 1045 |
< |
evaluations are avoided during the calculation of the potential |
| 1046 |
< |
energy. |
| 1145 |

Here, the point charge, dipole, and quadrupole for site $\bf a$ are |
| 1146 |
> |
given by $C_{\bf a}$, $D_{{\bf a}\alpha}$, and $Q_{{\bf |
| 1147 |
> |
a}\alpha\beta}$, respectively. These are the {\it primitive} |
| 1148 |
> |
multipoles. If the site is representing a distribution of charges, |
| 1149 |
> |
these can be expressed as, |
| 1150 |
> |
\begin{align} |
| 1151 |

C_{\bf a} =&\sum_{k \, \text{in \bf a}} q_k , \label{eq:charge} \\ |

D_{{\bf a}\alpha} =&\sum_{k \, \text{in \bf a}} q_k r_{k\alpha}, \label{eq:dipole}\\ |

r_{k\alpha} r_{k\beta} . \label{eq:quadrupole} |
| 1155 |

\end{align} |
| 1156 |

Note that the definition of the primitive quadrupole here differs from |

the standard traceless form, and contains an additional Taylor-series |

Since SSD/E is a single-point {\it dipolar} model, the force |

calculations are simplified significantly relative to the standard |

{\it charged} multi-point models. In the original Monte Carlo |

Recent constant pressure simulations revealed issues in the original |

pressures.\cite{Ichiye03,fennell04} The default model in {\sc OpenMD} |
| 1371 |
< |
is therefore SSD/E, a density corrected derivative of SSD that |
| 1372 |
< |
exhibits improved liquid structure and transport behavior. If the use |

is recommended that the parameters be modified to those of the SSD/RF |

In addition to the {\sc duff} force field's solvent description, a |

separate {\sc water} force field has been included for simulating most |

of the common rigid-body water models. This force field includes the |

simple and point-dipolar models (SSD, SSD1, SSD/E, SSD/RF, and DPD |

water), as well as the common charge-based models (SPC, SPC/E, TIP3P, |

where $q$ represents the charge on particle $i$ or $j$, and $e$ is the |
| 1203 |
< |
charge of an electron in Coulombs. The charge-charge interaction |

Bond lengths, angles, and torsions (dihedrals) are ``natural'' |

coordinates to treat molecular motion, as it is usually in these |

coordinates that most chemists understand the behavior of molecules. |
| 1577 |

The bond lengths and angles are often considered ``hard'' degrees of |
| 1578 |

freedom. That is, we can't deform them very much without a |
| 1579 |
+ |
significant energetic penalty. On the other hand, dihedral angles or |
| 1580 |

torsions are ``soft'' and typically undergo significant deformation |
| 1581 |

under normal conditions. |

Bonds are the primary way to specify how the atoms are connected |
| 1586 |
+ |
together to form the molecule. In general, bonds exert strong |
| 1587 |
+ |
restoring forces to keep the molecule compact. The bond energy |
| 1588 |
+ |
functions are relatively simple functions of the distance between two |
| 1589 |
+ |
atomic sites, |
| 1590 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1591 |
+ |
b = \left| \vec{r}_{ij} \right| = \sqrt{(x_j - x_i)^2 + (y_j - y_i)^2 |
| 1592 |
+ |
+ (z_j - z_i)^2}. |
| 1593 |

\end{equation} |
| 1594 |

All BondTypes must specify two AtomType names ($i$ and $j$) that |
| 1595 |
+ |
describe when that bond should be applied, as well as an equilibrium |
| 1596 |
+ |
bond length, $b_{ij}^0$, in units of \AA. The most common forms for |
| 1597 |
+ |
bonding potentials are {\tt Harmonic} bonds, |
| 1598 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1599 |
+ |
V_{\text{bond}}(b) = \frac{k_{ij}}{2} \left(b - |
| 1600 |
+ |
b_{ij}^0 \right)^2 |
| 1601 |

\end{equation} |
| 1602 |

and {\tt Morse} bonds, |
| 1603 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1604 |

V_{\text{bond}}(b) = D_{ij} \left[ 1 - e^{-\beta_{ij} (b - b_{ij}^0)} \right]^2 |

can also be simulated. Note that the factor of $1/2$ that is included |

There are advantages and disadvantages of all of the different types |

\subsection{\label{section:ffBend}The BendTypes block} |
| 1678 |
+ |
The equilibrium geometries and energy functions for bending motions in |
| 1679 |
+ |
a molecule are strongly dependent on the bonding environment of the |
| 1680 |
+ |
central atomic site. For example, different types of hybridized |
| 1681 |
+ |
carbon centers require different bending angles and force constants to |
| 1682 |
+ |
describe the local geometry. |
| 1683 |
+ |
|
| 1684 |
+ |
The bending potential energy functions used in most force fields are |
| 1685 |
+ |
often simple functions of the angle between two bonds, |
| 1686 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1687 |
+ |
\theta_{ijk} = \cos^{-1} \left(\frac{\vec{r}_{ji} \cdot |
| 1688 |
+ |
\vec{r}_{jk}}{\left| \vec{r}_{ji} \right| \left| \vec{r}_{jk} |
| 1689 |
+ |
\right|} \right) |
| 1690 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1691 |
+ |
Here atom $j$ is the central atom that is bonded to two partners $i$ |
| 1692 |
+ |
and $k$. |
| 1693 |
+ |
|
| 1694 |

| 1700 |
+ |
the unit vector between atoms $j$ and $i$. } |

All BendTypes must specify three AtomType names ($i$, $j$ and $k$) |
| 1706 |
+ |
that describe when that bend potential should be applied, as well as |
| 1707 |
+ |
an equilibrium bending angle, $\theta_{ijk}^0$, in units of |
| 1708 |
+ |
degrees. The most common forms for bending potentials are {\tt |
| 1709 |
+ |
Harmonic} bends, |
| 1710 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1711 |
+ |
V_{\text{bend}}(\theta_{ijk}) = \frac{k_{ijk}}{2}( \theta_{ijk} - \theta_{ijk}^0 |
| 1712 |
+ |
)^2, \label{eq:bendPot} |
| 1713 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1714 |
+ |
where $k_{ijk}$ is the force constant which determines the strength of |
| 1715 |
+ |
the harmonic bend. {\tt UreyBradley} bends utilize an additional 1-3 |
| 1716 |
+ |
bond-type interaction in addition to the harmonic bending potential: |
| 1717 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1718 |
+ |
V_{\text{bend}}(\vec{r}_i , \vec{r}_j, \vec{r}_k) |
| 1719 |
+ |
=\frac{k_{ijk}}{2}( \theta_{ijk} - \theta_{ijk}^0)^2 |
| 1720 |
+ |
+ \frac{k_{ub}}{2}( r_{ik} - s_0 )^2. \label{eq:ubBend} |
| 1721 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1722 |
+ |
|
| 1723 |
+ |
A {\tt Cosine} bend is a variant on the harmonic bend which utilizes |
| 1724 |
+ |
the cosine of the angle instead of the angle itself, |
| 1725 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1726 |
+ |
V_{\text{bend}}(\theta_{ijk}) = \frac{k_{ijk}}{2}( \cos\theta_{ijk} - |
| 1727 |
+ |
\cos \theta_{ijk}^0 )^2. \label{eq:cosBend} |
| 1728 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1729 |
+ |
|
| 1730 |
+ |
OpenMD can also simulate some less common types of bend potentials, |
| 1731 |
+ |
including {\tt Cubic} bends, which include terms to model anharmonicity, |
| 1732 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1733 |
+ |
V_{\text{bend}}(\theta_{ijk}) = K_3 (\theta_{ijk} - \theta_{ijk}^0)^3 + K_2 (\theta_{ijk} - \theta_{ijk}^0)^2 + K_1 (\theta_{ijk} - \theta_{ijk}^0) + K_0, |
| 1734 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1735 |
+ |
and {\tt Quartic} bends, which include another term in the Taylor |
| 1736 |
+ |
expansion around $\theta_{ijk}^0$, |
| 1737 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1738 |
+ |
V_{\text{bend}}(\theta_{ijk}) = K_4 (\theta_{ijk} - \theta_{ijk}^0)^4 + K_3 (\theta_{ijk} - \theta_{ijk}^0)^3 + |
| 1739 |
+ |
K_2 (\theta_{ijk} - \theta_{ijk}^0)^2 + K_1 (\theta_{ijk} - |
| 1740 |
+ |
\theta_{ijk}^0) + K_0, |
| 1741 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1742 |
+ |
can also be simulated. Note that the factor of $1/2$ that is included |
| 1743 |
+ |
in the {\tt Harmonic} bend type force constant is {\it not} present in |
| 1744 |
+ |
either the {\tt Cubic} or {\tt Quartic} bend types. |
| 1745 |
+ |
|
| 1746 |
+ |
{\tt Polynomial} bends which can have any number of terms, |
| 1747 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1748 |
+ |
V_{\text{bend}}(\theta_{ijk}) = \sum_n K_n (\theta_{ijk} - \theta_{ijk}^0)^n. |
| 1749 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1750 |
+ |
can also be specified by giving a sequence of integer ($n$) and force |
| 1751 |
+ |
constant ($K_n$) pairs. |
| 1752 |
+ |
|
| 1753 |
+ |
The order of terms in the BendTypes block is: |

+ |
\begin{itemize} |
| 1755 |

any bending triplet of the same atomic types (in the same or reversed |

\subsection{\label{section:ffTorsion}The TorsionTypes block} |
| 1795 |
+ |
The torsion potential for rotation of groups around a central bond can |
| 1796 |
+ |
often be represented with various cosine functions. For two |
| 1797 |
+ |
tetrahedral ($sp^3$) carbons connected by a single bond, the torsion |
| 1798 |
+ |
potential might be |
| 1799 |
+ |
\begin{equation*} |
| 1800 |
+ |
V_{\text{torsion}} = \frac{v}{2} \left[ 1 + \cos( 3 \phi ) \right] |
| 1801 |
+ |
\end{equation*} |
| 1802 |
+ |
where $v$ is the barrier for going from {\em staggered} $\rightarrow$ |
| 1803 |
+ |
{\em eclipsed} conformations, while for $sp^2$ carbons connected by a |
| 1804 |
+ |
double bond, the potential might be |
| 1805 |
+ |
\begin{equation*} |
| 1806 |
+ |
V_{\text{torsion}} = \frac{w}{2} \left[ 1 - \cos( 2 \phi ) \right] |
| 1807 |
+ |
\end{equation*} |
| 1808 |
+ |
where $w$ is the barrier for going from {\em cis} $\rightarrow$ {\em |
| 1809 |
+ |
trans} conformations. |
| 1810 |
+ |
|
| 1811 |
+ |
A general torsion potentials can be represented as a cosine series of |
| 1812 |
+ |
the form: |
| 1813 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1814 |
+ |
V_{\text{torsion}}(\phi_{ijkl}) = c_1[1 + \cos \phi_{ijkl}] |
| 1815 |
+ |
+ c_2[1 - \cos(2\phi_{ijkl})] |
| 1816 |
+ |
+ c_3[1 + \cos(3\phi_{ijkl})], |
| 1817 |
+ |
\label{eq:origTorsionPot} |
| 1818 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1819 |
+ |
where the angle $\phi_{ijkl}$ is defined |
| 1820 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1821 |
+ |
\cos\phi_{ijkl} = (\hat{\mathbf{r}}_{ij} \times \hat{\mathbf{r}}_{jk}) \cdot |
| 1822 |
+ |
(\hat{\mathbf{r}}_{jk} \times \hat{\mathbf{r}}_{kl}). |
| 1823 |
+ |
\label{eq:torsPhi} |
| 1824 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1825 |
+ |
Here, $\hat{\mathbf{r}}_{\alpha\beta}$ are the set of unit bond |
| 1826 |
+ |
vectors between atoms $i$, $j$, $k$, and $l$. Note that some force |
| 1827 |
+ |
fields define the zero of the $\phi_{ijkl}$ angle when atoms $i$ and |
| 1828 |
+ |
$l$ are in the {\em trans} configuration, while most define the zero |
| 1829 |
+ |
angle for when $i$ and $l$ are in the fully eclipsed orientation. The |
| 1830 |
+ |
behavior of the torsion parser can be altered with the {\tt |
| 1831 |
+ |
TorsionAngleConvention} keyword in the Options block. The default |
| 1832 |
+ |
behavior is {\tt "180\_is\_trans"} while the opposite behavior can be |
| 1833 |
+ |
invoked by setting this keyword to {\tt "0\_is\_trans"}. |

For computational efficiency, OpenMD recasts torsion potential in the |
| 1846 |
+ |
method of {\sc charmm},\cite{Brooks83} in which the angle series is |
| 1847 |
+ |
converted to a power series of the form: |
| 1848 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1849 |
+ |
V_{\text{torsion}}(\phi_{ijkl}) = |
| 1850 |
+ |
k_3 \cos^3 \phi_{ijkl} + k_2 \cos^2 \phi_{ijkl} + k_1 \cos \phi_{ijkl} + k_0, |
| 1851 |
+ |
\label{eq:torsionPot} |
| 1852 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1853 |
+ |
where: |
| 1854 |
+ |
\begin{align*} |
| 1855 |
+ |
k_0 &= c_1 + 2 c_2 + c_3, \\ |
| 1856 |
+ |
k_1 &= c_1 - 3c_3, \\ |
| 1857 |
+ |
k_2 &= - 2 c_2, \\ |
| 1858 |
+ |
k_3 &= 4 c_3. |
| 1859 |
+ |
\end{align*} |
| 1860 |
+ |
By recasting the potential as a power series, repeated trigonometric |
| 1861 |
+ |
evaluations are avoided during the calculation of the potential |
| 1862 |
+ |
energy. |
| 1863 |
+ |
|
| 1864 |
+ |
Using this framework, OpenMD implements a variety of different |
| 1865 |

potential energy functions for torsions: |
| 1866 |
+ |
\begin{itemize} |

| 1871 |

\end{equation*} |
| 1872 |
+ |
\item {\tt Quartic}: |
| 1873 |
+ |
\begin{equation*} |

V_{\text{torsion}}(\phi) = k_4 \cos^4 \phi + |
| 1875 |

k_3 \cos^3 \phi + k_2 \cos^2 \phi + k_1 \cos \phi + k_0, |
| 1876 |

\end{equation*} |
| 1877 |
+ |
\item {\tt Polynomial}: |
| 1878 |
+ |
\begin{equation*} |
| 1879 |

V_{\text{torsion}}(\phi) = \sum_n k_n \cos^n \phi , |

\end{equation*} |

\item {\tt Charmm}: |

\begin{equation*} |

V_{\text{torsion}}(\phi) = \sum_n K_n \left( 1 + cos(n |

\phi - \delta_n) \right), |
| 1885 |
+ |
\end{equation*} |
| 1886 |
+ |
\item {\tt Opls}: |
| 1887 |
+ |
\begin{equation*} |
| 1888 |

V_{\text{torsion}}(\phi) = \frac{1}{2} \left(v_1 (1 + \cos \phi) \right) |
| 1889 |
+ |
+ v_2 (1 - \cos 2 \phi) + v_3 (1 + \cos 3 \phi), |
| 1890 |
+ |
\end{equation*} |
| 1891 |
+ |
\item {\tt Trappe}:\cite{Siepmann1998} |
| 1892 |

\begin{equation*} |
| 1893 |

V_{\text{torsion}}(\phi) = c_0 + c_1 (1 + \cos \phi) + c_2 (1 - \cos 2 \phi) + |
| 1894 |
+ |
c_3 (1 + \cos 3 \phi), |
| 1895 |
+ |
\end{equation*} |
| 1896 |
+ |
\item {\tt Harmonic}: |
| 1897 |
+ |
\begin{equation*} |
| 1898 |
+ |
V_{\text{torsion}}(\phi) = \frac{d_0}{2} \left(\phi - \phi^0\right). |
| 1899 |

\end{equation*} |
| 1900 |

\end{itemize} |
| 1901 |
+ |
|
| 1902 |
+ |
Most torsion types don't require specific angle information in the |
| 1903 |
+ |
parameters since they are typically expressed in cosine polynomials. |
| 1904 |
+ |
{\tt Charmm} and {\tt Harmonic} torsions are a bit different. {\tt |
| 1905 |
+ |
Charmm} torsion types require a set of phase angles, $\delta_n$ that |
| 1906 |
+ |
are expressed in degrees, and associated periodicity numbers, $n$. |
| 1907 |
+ |
{\tt Harmonic} torsions have an equilibrium torsion angle, $\phi_0$ |
| 1908 |
+ |
that is measured in degrees, while $d_0$ has units of |
| 1909 |
+ |
kcal/mol/degrees$^2$. All other torsion parameters are measured in |

units of kcal/mol. |

\subsection{\label{section:ffInversion}The InversionTypes block} |
| 1943 |
+ |
|
| 1944 |
+ |
Inversion potentials are often added to force fields to enforce |
| 1945 |
+ |
planarity around $sp^2$-hybridized carbons or to correct vibrational |
| 1946 |
+ |
frequencies for umbrella-like vibrational modes for central atoms |
| 1947 |
+ |
bonded to exactly three satellite groups. |
| 1948 |
+ |
|
| 1949 |
+ |
In OpenMD's version of an inversion, the central atom is entered {\it |
| 1950 |
+ |
first} in each line in the {\tt InversionTypes} block. Note that |
| 1951 |
+ |
this is quite different than how other codes treat Improper torsional |
| 1952 |
+ |
potentials to mimic inversion behavior. In some other widely-used |
| 1953 |
+ |
simulation packages, the central atom is treated as atom 3 in a |
| 1954 |
+ |
standard torsion form: |
| 1955 |
+ |
\begin{itemize} |
| 1956 |
+ |
\item OpenMD: I - (J - K - L) (e.g. I is $sp^2$ hybridized carbon) |
| 1957 |
+ |
\item AMBER: I - J - K - L (e.g. K is $sp^2$ hybridized carbon) |
| 1958 |
+ |
\end{itemize} |
| 1959 |
+ |
|
| 1960 |
+ |
The inversion angle itself is defined as: |
| 1961 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 1962 |
+ |
\cos\omega_{i-jkl} = \left(\hat{\mathbf{r}}_{il} \times |
| 1963 |
+ |
\hat{\mathbf{r}}_{ij}\right)\cdot\left( \hat{\mathbf{r}}_{il} \times |
| 1964 |
+ |
\hat{\mathbf{r}}_{ik}\right) |
| 1965 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 1966 |
+ |
Here, $\hat{\mathbf{r}}_{\alpha\beta}$ are the set of unit bond |
| 1967 |
+ |
vectors between the central atoms $i$, and the satellite atoms $j$, |
| 1968 |
+ |
$k$, and $l$. Note that other definitions of inversion angles are |
| 1969 |
+ |
possible, so users are encouraged to be particularly careful when |
| 1970 |
+ |
converting other force field files for use with OpenMD. |
| 1971 |
+ |
|
| 1972 |
+ |
There are many common ways to create planarity or umbrella behavior in |
| 1973 |
+ |
a potential energy function, and OpenMD implements a number of the |
| 1974 |
+ |
more common functions: |
| 1975 |
+ |
\begin{itemize} |
| 1976 |
+ |
\item {\tt ImproperCosine}: |
| 1977 |
+ |
\begin{equation*} |

\omega - \delta_n) \right), |

\item {\tt AmberImproper}: |

\begin{equation*} |

\end{equation*} |
| 1985 |
+ |
\item {\tt Harmonic}: |
| 1986 |

\begin{equation*} |

V_{\text{torsion}}(\omega) = \frac{d}{2} \left(\omega - \omega_0\right). |

Calculating the long-range (non-bonded) potential involves a sum over |
| 2012 |
+ |
all pairs of atoms (except for those atoms which are involved in a |
| 2013 |
+ |
bond, bend, or torsion with each other). Many of these interactions |

|

To aid in performing simulations in more traditional force fields, we |

< |
have added routines to carry out electrostatic interactions using a |
| 2084 |
< |
number of different electrostatic summation methods. These methods |
| 2085 |
< |
are extended from the damped and cutoff-neutralized Coulombic sum |

originally proposed by Wolf, {\it et al.}\cite{Wolf99} One of these, |

the damped shifted force method, shows a remarkable ability to |

reproduce the energetic and dynamic characteristics exhibited by |
| 2089 |

simulations employing lattice summation techniques. The basic idea is |

real-space summation methods using two tricks: |
| 2091 |
|
\begin{enumerate} |
| 2092 |
|
\item shifting through the use of image charges, and |
| 2093 |
|
\item damping the electrostatic interaction. |
| 2206 |
|
\end{equation} |
| 2207 |
|
the shifted potential (eq. (\ref{eq:SPPot})) becomes |
| 2208 |
|
\begin{equation} |
| 2209 |
< |
V_{\textrm{DSP}}(r) = q_iq_j\left(\frac{\textrm{erfc}\left(\alpha r\right)}{r}-\ |
| 1472 |

frac{\textrm{erfc}\left(\alpha R_\textrm{c}\right)}{R_\textrm{c}}\right) \quad r |

| 2210 |
|
\leqslant R_\textrm{c}, |
| 2211 |
|
\label{eq:DSPPot} |
| 2212 |
|
\end{equation} |
| 2250 |
|
this reason, the default electrostatic summation method utilized by |
| 2251 |
|
{\sc OpenMD} is the DSF (Eq. \ref{eq:DSFPot}) with a damping parameter |
| 2252 |
|
($\alpha$) that is set algorithmically from the cutoff radius. |
| 2253 |
+ |
|
| 2254 |
+ |
|
| 2255 |
+ |
\section{\label{section:cutoffGroups}Switching Functions} |
| 2256 |
+ |
|
| 2257 |
+ |
Calculating the the long-range interactions for $N$ atoms involves |
| 2258 |
+ |
$N(N-1)/2$ evaluations of atomic distances if it is done in a brute |
| 2259 |
+ |
force manner. To reduce the number of distance evaluations between |
| 2260 |
+ |
pairs of atoms, {\sc OpenMD} allows the use of hard or switched |
| 2261 |
+ |
cutoffs with Verlet neighbor lists.\cite{Allen87} Neutral groups which |
| 2262 |
+ |
contain charges can exhibit pathological forces unless the cutoff is |
| 2263 |
+ |
applied to the neutral groups evenly instead of to the individual |
| 2264 |
+ |
atoms.\cite{leach01:mm} {\sc OpenMD} allows users to specify cutoff |
| 2265 |
+ |
groups which may contain an arbitrary number of atoms in the molecule. |
| 2266 |
+ |
Atoms in a cutoff group are treated as a single unit for the |
| 2267 |
+ |
evaluation of the switching function: |
| 2268 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 2269 |
+ |
V_{\mathrm{long-range}} = \sum_{a} \sum_{b>a} s(r_{ab}) \sum_{i \in a} \sum_{j \in b} V_{ij}(r_{ij}), |
| 2270 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 2271 |
+ |
where $r_{ab}$ is the distance between the centers of mass of the two |
| 2272 |
+ |
cutoff groups ($a$ and $b$). |
| 2273 |
+ |
|
| 2274 |
+ |
The sums over $a$ and $b$ are over the cutoff groups that are present |
| 2275 |
+ |
in the simulation. Atoms which are not explicitly defined as members |
| 2276 |
+ |
of a {\tt cutoffGroup} are treated as a group consisting of only one |
| 2277 |
+ |
atom. The switching function, $s(r)$ is the standard cubic switching |
| 2278 |
+ |
function, |
| 2279 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 2280 |
+ |
S(r) = |
| 2281 |
+ |
\begin{cases} |
| 2282 |
+ |
1 & \text{if $r \le r_{\text{sw}}$},\\ |
| 2283 |
+ |
\frac{(r_{\text{cut}} + 2r - 3r_{\text{sw}})(r_{\text{cut}} - r)^2} |
| 2284 |
+ |
{(r_{\text{cut}} - r_{\text{sw}})^3} |
| 2285 |
+ |
& \text{if $r_{\text{sw}} < r \le r_{\text{cut}}$}, \\ |
| 2286 |
+ |
0 & \text{if $r > r_{\text{cut}}$.} |
| 2287 |
+ |
\end{cases} |
| 2288 |
+ |
\label{eq:dipoleSwitching} |
| 2289 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 2290 |
+ |
Here, $r_{\text{sw}}$ is the {\tt switchingRadius}, or the distance |
| 2291 |
+ |
beyond which interactions are reduced, and $r_{\text{cut}}$ is the |
| 2292 |
+ |
{\tt cutoffRadius}, or the distance at which interactions are |
| 2293 |
+ |
truncated. |
| 2294 |
+ |
|
| 2295 |
+ |
Users of {\sc OpenMD} do not need to specify the {\tt cutoffRadius} or |
| 2296 |
+ |
{\tt switchingRadius}. |
| 2297 |
+ |
If the {\tt cutoffRadius} was not explicitly set, OpenMD will attempt |
| 2298 |
+ |
to guess an appropriate choice. If the system contains electrostatic |
| 2299 |
+ |
atoms, the default cutoff radius is 12 \AA. In systems without |
| 2300 |
+ |
electrostatic (charge or multipolar) atoms, the atom types present in the simulation will be |
| 2301 |
+ |
polled for suggested cutoff values (e.g. $2.5 max(\left\{ \sigma |
| 2302 |
+ |
\right\})$ for Lennard-Jones atoms. The largest suggested value |
| 2303 |
+ |
that was found will be used. |
| 2304 |
|
|
| 2305 |
+ |
By default, OpenMD uses shifted force potentials to force the |
| 2306 |
+ |
potential energy and forces to smoothly approach zero at the cutoff |
| 2307 |
+ |
radius. If the user would like to use another cutoff method |
| 2308 |
+ |
they may do so by setting the {\tt cutoffMethod} parameter to: |
| 2309 |
+ |
\begin{itemize} |
| 2310 |
+ |
\item {\tt HARD} |
| 2311 |
+ |
\item {\tt SWITCHED} |
| 2312 |
+ |
\item {\tt SHIFTED\_FORCE} (default): |
| 2313 |
+ |
\item {\tt TAYLOR\_SHIFTED} |
| 2314 |
+ |
\item {\tt SHIFTED\_POTENTIAL} |
| 2315 |
+ |
\end{itemize} |
| 2316 |
+ |
|
| 2317 |
+ |
The {\tt switchingRadius} is set to a default value of 95\% of the |
| 2318 |
+ |
{\tt cutoffRadius}. In the special case of a simulation containing |
| 2319 |
+ |
{\it only} Lennard-Jones atoms, the default switching radius takes the |
| 2320 |
+ |
same value as the cutoff radius, and {\sc OpenMD} will use a shifted |
| 2321 |
+ |
potential to remove discontinuities in the potential at the cutoff. |
| 2322 |
+ |
Both radii may be specified in the meta-data file. |

\chapter{\label{section:rnemd}Reverse Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (RNEMD)} |
| 3888 |
+ |
|
| 3889 |
+ |
There are many ways to compute transport properties from molecular |
| 3890 |
+ |
dynamics simulations. Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (EMD) |
| 3891 |
+ |
simulations can be used by computing relevant time correlation |
| 3892 |
+ |
functions and assuming linear response theory holds. For some transport properties (notably thermal conductivity), EMD approaches |
| 3893 |
+ |
are subject to noise and poor convergence of the relevant |
| 3894 |
+ |
correlation functions. Traditional Non-equilibrium Molecular Dynamics |
| 3895 |
+ |
(NEMD) methods impose a gradient (e.g. thermal or momentum) on a |
| 3896 |
+ |
simulation. However, the resulting flux is often difficult to |
| 3897 |
+ |
measure. Furthermore, problems arise for NEMD simulations of |
| 3898 |
+ |
heterogeneous systems, such as phase-phase boundaries or interfaces, |
| 3899 |
+ |
where the type of gradient to enforce at the boundary between |
| 3900 |
+ |
materials is unclear. |
| 3901 |
+ |
|
| 3902 |
+ |
{\it Reverse} Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (RNEMD) methods adopt |
| 3903 |
+ |
a different approach in that an unphysical {\it flux} is imposed |
| 3904 |
+ |
between different regions or ``slabs'' of the simulation box. The |
| 3905 |
+ |
response of the system is to develop a temperature or momentum {\it |
| 3906 |
+ |
gradient} between the two regions. Since the amount of the applied |
| 3907 |
+ |
flux is known exactly, and the measurement of gradient is generally |
| 3908 |
+ |
less complicated, imposed-flux methods typically take shorter |
| 3909 |
+ |
simulation times to obtain converged results for transport properties. |

\section{\label{section:algo}Three algorithms for carrying out RNEMD simulations} |
| 3923 |
+ |
\subsection{\label{subsection:swapping}The swapping algorithm} |
| 3924 |
+ |
The original ``swapping'' approaches by M\"{u}ller-Plathe {\it et |
| 3925 |
+ |
al.}\cite{ISI:000080382700030,MullerPlathe:1997xw} can be understood |
| 3926 |
+ |
as a sequence of imaginary elastic collisions between particles in |
| 3927 |
+ |
opposite slabs. In each collision, the entire momentum vectors of |
| 3928 |
+ |
both particles may be exchanged to generate a thermal |
| 3929 |
+ |
flux. Alternatively, a single component of the momentum vectors may be |
| 3930 |
+ |
exchanged to generate a shear flux. This algorithm turns out to be |
| 3931 |
+ |
quite useful in many simulations. However, the M\"{u}ller-Plathe |
| 3932 |
+ |
swapping approach perturbs the system away from ideal |
| 3933 |
+ |
Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions, and this may leads to undesirable |
| 3934 |
+ |
side-effects when the applied flux becomes large.\cite{Maginn:2010} |
| 3935 |
+ |
This limits the applicability of the swapping algorithm, so in OpenMD, |
| 3936 |
+ |
we have implemented two additional algorithms for RNEMD in addition to the |
| 3937 |
+ |
original swapping approach. |
| 3938 |
+ |
|
| 3939 |
+ |
\subsection{\label{subsection:nivs}Non-Isotropic Velocity Scaling (NIVS)} |
| 3940 |
+ |
Instead of having momentum exchange between {\it individual particles} |
| 3941 |
+ |
in each slab, the NIVS algorithm applies velocity scaling to all of |
| 3942 |
+ |
the selected particles in both slabs.\cite{kuang:164101} A combination of linear |
| 3943 |
+ |
momentum, kinetic energy, and flux constraint equations governs the |
| 3944 |
+ |
amount of velocity scaling performed at each step. Interested readers |
| 3945 |
+ |
should consult ref. \citealp{kuang:164101} for further details on the |
| 3946 |
+ |
methodology. |
| 3947 |
+ |
|
| 3948 |
+ |
NIVS has been shown to be very effective at producing thermal |
| 3949 |
+ |
gradients and for computing thermal conductivities, particularly for |
| 3950 |
+ |
heterogeneous interfaces. Although the NIVS algorithm can also be |
| 3951 |
+ |
applied to impose a directional momentum flux, thermal anisotropy was |
| 3952 |
+ |
observed in relatively high flux simulations, and the method is not |
| 3953 |
+ |
suitable for imposing a shear flux or for computing shear viscosities. |
| 3954 |
+ |
|
| 3955 |
+ |
\subsection{\label{subsection:vss}Velocity Shearing and Scaling (VSS)} |
| 3956 |
+ |
The third RNEMD algorithm implemented in OpenMD utilizes a series of |
| 3957 |
+ |
simultaneous velocity shearing and scaling exchanges between the two |
| 3958 |
+ |
slabs.\cite{2012MolPh.110..691K} This method results in a set of simpler equations to satisfy |
| 3959 |
+ |
the conservation constraints while creating a desired flux between the |
| 3960 |
+ |
two slabs. |
| 3961 |
+ |
|
| 3962 |
+ |
The VSS approach is versatile in that it may be used to implement both |
| 3963 |
+ |
thermal and shear transport either separately or simultaneously. |
| 3964 |
+ |
Perturbations of velocities away from the ideal Maxwell-Boltzmann |
| 3965 |
+ |
distributions are minimal, and thermal anisotropy is kept to a |
| 3966 |
+ |
minimum. This ability to generate simultaneous thermal and shear |
| 3967 |
+ |
fluxes has been utilized to map out the shear viscosity of SPC/E water |
| 3968 |
+ |
over a wide range of temperatures (90~K) just with a single simulation. |
| 3969 |
+ |
VSS-RNEMD also allows the directional momentum flux to have |
| 3970 |
+ |
arbitary directions, which could aid in the study of anisotropic solid |
| 3971 |
+ |
surfaces in contact with liquid environments. |

\section{\label{section:usingRNEMD}Using OpenMD to perform a RNEMD simulation} |
| 3974 |
+ |
\subsection{\label{section:rnemdParams} What the user needs to specify} |
| 3975 |
+ |
To carry out a RNEMD simulation, |
| 3976 |
+ |
a user must specify a number of parameters in the MetaData (.md) file. |
| 3977 |
+ |
Because the RNEMD methods have a large number of parameters, these |
| 3978 |
+ |
must be enclosed in a {\it separate} {\tt RNEMD\{...\}} block. The most important |
| 3979 |
+ |
parameters to specify are the {\tt useRNEMD}, {\tt fluxType} and flux |
| 3980 |
+ |
parameters. Most other parameters (summarized in table |
| 3981 |
+ |
\ref{table:rnemd}) have reasonable default values. {\tt fluxType} |
| 3982 |
+ |
sets up the kind of exchange that will be carried out between the two |
| 3983 |
+ |
slabs (either Kinetic Energy ({\tt KE}) or momentum ({\tt Px, Py, Pz, |
| 3984 |
+ |
Pvector}), or some combination of these). The flux is specified |
| 3985 |
+ |
with the use of three possible parameters: {\tt kineticFlux} for |
| 3986 |
+ |
kinetic energy exchange, as well as {\tt momentumFlux} or {\tt |
| 3987 |
+ |
momentumFluxVector} for simulations with directional exchange. |
| 3988 |
|
|
| 3989 |
+ |
\subsection{\label{section:rnemdResults} Processing the results} |
| 3990 |
+ |
OpenMD will generate a {\tt .rnemd} |
| 3991 |
+ |
file with the same prefix as the original {\tt .md} file. This file |
| 3992 |
+ |
contains a running average of properties of interest computed within a |
| 3993 |
+ |
set of bins that divide the simulation cell along the $z$-axis. The |
| 3994 |
+ |
first column of the {\tt .rnemd} file is the $z$ coordinate of the |
| 3995 |
+ |
center of each bin, while following columns may contain the average |
| 3996 |
+ |
temperature, velocity, or density within each bin. The output format |
| 3997 |
+ |
in the {\tt .rnemd} file can be altered with the {\tt outputFields}, |
| 3998 |
+ |
{\tt outputBins}, and {\tt outputFileName} parameters. A report at |
| 3999 |
+ |
the top of the {\tt .rnemd} file contains the current exchange totals |
| 4000 |
+ |
as well as the average flux applied during the simulation. Using the |
| 4001 |
+ |
slope of the temperature or velocity gradient obtaine from the {\tt |
| 4002 |
+ |
.rnemd} file along with the applied flux, the user can very simply |
| 4003 |
+ |
arrive at estimates of thermal conductivities ($\lambda$), |
| 4004 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 4005 |
+ |
J_z = -\lambda \frac{\partial T}{\partial z}, |
| 4006 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 4007 |
+ |
and shear viscosities ($\eta$), |
| 4008 |
+ |
\begin{equation} |
| 4009 |
+ |
j_z(p_x) = -\eta \frac{\partial \langle v_x \rangle}{\partial z}. |
| 4010 |
+ |
\end{equation} |
| 4011 |
+ |
Here, the quantities on the left hand side are the actual flux values |
| 4012 |
+ |
(in the header of the {\tt .rnemd} file), while the slopes are |
| 4013 |
+ |
obtained from linear fits to the gradients observed in the {\tt |
| 4014 |
+ |
.rnemd} file. |
| 4015 |
+ |
|
| 4016 |
+ |
More complicated simulations (including interfaces) require a bit more |
| 4017 |
+ |
care. Here the second derivative may be required to compute the |
| 4018 |
+ |
interfacial thermal conductance, |
| 4019 |
+ |
\begin{align} |
| 4020 |
+ |
G^\prime &= \left(\nabla\lambda \cdot \mathbf{\hat{n}}\right)_{z_0} \\ |
| 4021 |
+ |
&= \frac{\partial}{\partial z}\left(-\frac{J_z}{ |
| 4022 |
+ |
\left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial z}\right)}\right)_{z_0} \\ |
| 4023 |
+ |
&= J_z\left(\frac{\partial^2 T}{\partial z^2}\right)_{z_0} \Big/ |
| 4024 |
+ |
\left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial z}\right)_{z_0}^2. |
| 4025 |
+ |
\label{derivativeG} |
| 4026 |
+ |
\end{align} |
| 4027 |
+ |
where $z_0$ is the location of the interface between two materials and |
| 4028 |
+ |
$\mathbf{\hat{n}}$ is a unit vector normal to the interface. We |
| 4029 |
+ |
suggest that users interested in interfacial conductance consult |
| 4030 |
+ |
reference \citealp{kuang:AuThl} for other approaches to computing $G$. |
| 4031 |
+ |
Users interested in {\it friction coefficients} at heterogeneous |
| 4032 |
+ |
interfaces may also find reference \citealp{2012MolPh.110..691K} |
| 4033 |
+ |
useful. |

{\tt icosahedralBuilder} creates single-component geometric solids |
| 4688 |
+ |
that can be useful in simulating nanostructures. Like the other |
| 4689 |
+ |
builders, it requires an initial, but skeletal {\sc OpenMD} file to |
| 4690 |
+ |
specify the component that is to be placed on the lattice. The total |
| 4691 |
+ |
number of placed molecules will be shown at the top of the |
| 4692 |
+ |
configuration file that is generated, and that number may not match |
| 4693 |
+ |
the original meta-data file, so a new meta-data file is also generated |
| 4694 |
+ |
which matches the lattice structure. |
