Potential Due to a Polarized Object01:29

Potential Due to a Polarized Object

859
A neutral atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. When placed in an external electric field, the external electric force pulls the electrons and nucleus apart, opposite to the intrinsic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. The opposing forces balance each other with a slight shift between the center of masses of the nucleus and the electron cloud, resulting in a polarized atom. On the other hand, a few molecules, like water,...

Hückel's Rule Diagram of π MOs: Frost Circle

The Frost circle or the inscribed polygon method is a graphical method for determining the relative energies of π molecular orbitals (MOs) for planar, fully conjugated, and monocyclic compounds. This method was first described by A. A. Frost and Boris Musulin in 1953.
A Frost circle is constructed by drawing a polygon whose number of edges is equal to the number of carbons of the given cyclic system, with one of the vertices pointing down. Then, a circle is drawn enclosing the polygon so that...

Dielectric Polarization in a Capacitor

6.2K
The presence of a dielectric medium in a capacitor not only changes the voltage and capacitance but also affects the electric field. In general, dielectrics can be of two types: polar and nonpolar. In a polar dielectric, the positive and negative charges in the molecules are separated by a distance and hence have a permanent dipole moment. In contrast, no such charge separation exists in a nonpolar dielectric, however the nonpolar molecules get polarized in the presence of an external electric...

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Molecular modeling
  • Physical chemistry

Background:

  • Evaluating self-consistent polarization energy is computationally intensive for polarizable force fields.
  • Iterative methods like Jacobi iterations (JI) and preconditioned conjugate gradients (PCG) are used for large systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel domain decomposition techniques to accelerate the convergence of induced dipoles.
  • To improve the computational efficiency of polarization energy calculations.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed two variants of Jacobi iterations: divide-and-conquer JI (DC-JI) and fuzzy DC-JI.
  • Utilized K-means clustering for atomic sub-cluster identification and weight determination.
  • Employed direct inversion in the iterative subspace (DIIS) extrapolation.

Main Results:

  • Fuzzy DC-JI, especially when coupled with DIIS, shows comparable convergence to PCG but with lower computational cost per iteration.
  • The new algorithms accelerate polarization energy evaluation by 2-3 fold compared to existing PCG or JI/DIIS methods.

Conclusions:

  • DC-JI and fuzzy DC-JI offer significant speedups for polarization energy calculations.
  • These methods provide a more efficient approach for molecular modeling of large systems.
