We introduce novel configurational algorithms for isothermal-isobaric molecular dynamics simulations, offering a momentum-independent approach. These methods accurately control temperature and pressure, proving effective in complex simulations.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Statistical Mechanics
  • Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Background:

  • Traditional molecular dynamics simulations often rely on kinetic temperature and pressure control.
  • Calculating kinetic temperature and pressure can be challenging in specific scenarios, such as nonequilibrium simulations.
  • Existing methods like configurational canonical dynamics provide a foundation for alternative control strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate new algorithms for isothermal-isobaric molecular dynamics simulations.
  • To introduce fully configurational methods that control temperature and pressure using only particle positions.
  • To provide a momentum-independent approach beneficial for complex simulation systems.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed two new algorithms based on extended phase space dynamics, incorporating thermostat and barostat degrees of freedom.
