Abstract:
In the study of adsorption of simple adsorbates in microporous materials like zeolites, thermodynamic models of small grand-canonical cells with very local interactions [e.g., see K. G. Ayappa, J. Chem. Phys. 111, 4736 (1999)] have been proven to be able to produce thermodynamic properties in very good agreement with the results of experiments and atomistic simulations. In this paper we present in details the structure and implementation of a thermodynamic partitioning cellular automaton (PCA) devised as a dynamical version of thermodynamic cell models and proposed as an easy environment to perform coarse-grained simulations of adsorption/diffusion of simple interacting molecules in microporous materials. Local evolution rules and memory effects are introduced to make our PCA able to complete the static picture provided by thermodynamic cell models with the simulation of transport properties.
