51 Questions? 51

52 QM Methods Doing a QM simulation or calculation means including the electrons explicitly. With QM methods, we can calculate properties that depend upon the electronic distribution, and to study processes like chemical reactions in which bonds are formed and broken. The explicit consideration of electrons distinguishes QM models and methods from classical force field models and methods. 52

53 Different QM Methods Several approaches exist. The two main ones are: Molecular orbital theory Came from chemistry, since primarily developed for individual molecules, gases and now liquids. Two flavors Ab initio: all electrons included (considered exact) Semi-empirical: only valence electrons included Density functional theory Came from physics and materials science community, since originally conceived for solids. All electrons included via electronic density (considered exact). 53

54 Fundamentals The operator that returns the system energy is called the Hamiltonian operator H. Eigenvalue equation for system energy H = E Time-independent Schrodinger Equation H i 2 2 m e i 2 k m k k i k e 2 Z k r ik i j e 2 r ij k l e 2 Z k Z l r kl Kinetic energy of electrons Kinetic energy of nuclei Potential energy of electrons & nuclei Potential energy of electrons Potential energy of nuclei 54

55 Born-Oppenheimer Approximation Need to simplify! Neutrons & protons are >1800 times more massive than electrons, and therefore move much more slowly. Thus, electronic relaxation is for all practical purposes instantaneous with respect to nuclear motion. We can decouple the motion, and consider the electron-electron interactions independently of the nuclear interactions. This is the Born- Oppenheimer approximation. For nearly all situations relevant to soft matter, this assumption is entirely justified. (H el +V n ) el (q i ;q k ) = E el el (q i ;q k ) The Electronic Schrodinger Equation 55

56 QM Methods Goal of all QM methods in use today: Solve the electronic Schrodinger equation for the ground state energy of a system and the wavefunction that describes the positions of all the electrons. The energy is calculated for a given trial wavefunction, and the best wavefunction is found as that wavefunction that minimizes the energy. 56

57 QM Methods Solving SE is not so easy! Anything containing more than two elementary particles (i.e. one e- and one nucleon) can t be solved exactly: the many-body problem. Even after invoking Born-Oppenheimer, still can t solve exactly for anything containing more than two electrons. So -- all QM methods used today are APPROXIMATE after all, even if considered exact! That is, they provide approximate solutions to the Schrodinger equation. Some are more approximate than others. 57

58 Molecular Orbital Theory MOT is expressed in terms of molecular wave functions called molecular orbitals. Most popular implementation: write molecular orbital as a linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO): Eq in Leach K i a i 1 K = # atomic orbitals Many different ways of writing basis set, which leads to many different methods and implementations of MOT. 58

59 Molecular Orbital Theory Dozens of approaches for writing basis sets (e.g. in terms of Gaussian wavefunctions, or as linear combos of Gaussians). Different implementations retain different numbers of terms. Semi-empirical MOT methods consider only valence electrons. Some methods include electron exchange. Some methods include electron correlation. 59

60 Density Functional Theory A different approach for solving Schrodinger s equation for the ground state energies of matter. Based on theory of Hohenberg and Kohn (1964) which states that it is not necessary to consider the motion of each individual electron in the system. Instead, it suffices to know the average number of electrons at any one point in space. The HK theorem enables us to write E el as a functional of the electron density M A 1 Z A r 1 A r 2 d r 2 V X C r 1 r 1 2 i r i i i r i To perform a DFT calculation, one optimizes the energy with respect to the electron probability density, rather than with respect to the electronic wave function. For a given density, the lowest energy is the best one. 60

61 Density Functional Theory In the commonly used Kohn-Sham implementation, the density is written in terms of one-electron molecular orbitals called Kohn-Sham orbitals. This allows the energy to be optimized by solving a set of one-electron Schrodinger equations (the KS equations), but with electron correlation included. This is a key advantage of the DFT method - it s easier to include electron correlation. Different choices of basis sets, how many terms to use, of what type, contribute to difficulty of calculation. More than a few hundred light atoms is still too time-consuming, even on big computers. For molecules or systems with large numbers of electrons, pseudopotentials are used to represent the wavefunctions of valence electrons, and the core is treated in a simplified way. 61

69 Overview Historical perspective Simulation methodologies Theoretical background Monte Carlo simulation Molecular dynamics simulation Reverse Monte Carlo Force fields Information retrieval Statistical mechanical formalisms Structural analyses Dynamics Application examples 69

70 Simulation Observables: Thermodynamics In a classical, many body system, the temperature is defined from the equipartition theorem in terms of the average kinetic energy per degree of freedom: 1 2 m v x k B T In a simulation, we use this equation as an operational definition of T. Thus the lower the temperature, the lower the kinetic energy, and the slower the average velocity. 70

73 Measuring quantities in molecular simulations Suppose we wish to measure in an experiment the value of a property, A, of a system such as pressure or density or heat capacity. The property A will depend on the positions and momenta of the N atoms or molecules that comprise the system. The instantaneous value of A is: A(p N (t),r N (t)) = A(p 1x,p 1y,p 1z,, x 1,y 1,z 1, t). Over time, A fluctuates due to interactions between the atoms. 73

74 Measuring quantities in molecular simulations In any experiment, the value that we measure is an average of A over the time of the measurement (a time average). As the time, t, of the measurement increases to infinity, the true average value of A is attained: A lim 1 t 0 A p N ( t ), r N ( t ) dt Note that strictly speaking this is true only for ergodic systems in equilibrium. 74

75 Measuring quantities in molecular simulations To calculate properties in a molecular simulation, we average a property A over successive configurations in the trajectory generated by the equations of motion. A lim n steps n steps 1 A p N ( t ), r N ( t ) n steps t 0 The larger n steps is, the more accurate the estimate of the true time-averaged value of A. 75

76 Ensemble averages In statistical mechanics we learn that experiments and simulations may be performed in different ensembles. An ensemble is a collection of individual systems that can be studied en masse to yield macroscopic properties of the entire collection. Every equilibrium configuration we generate via MD represents a unique microstate of the ensemble. 76

77 Ensemble averages There are many different thermodynamic ensembles, each of which is characterized by thermodynamic variables that are fixed in the simulation. NVE - microcanonical NVT - canonical NPT - isobaric-isothermal VT - Gibbs N = number of particles, V = volume, E = total energy, T = temperature, P = pressure, = chemical potential The simplest MD simulation has constant N, V and E. The NVE ensemble is the microcanonical ensemble; all states are equally likely. In NVE MD, solve F=ma for an isolated system, one for which no exchange of energy or particles with the outside. 77

78 Molecular Dynamics Simulation: NVT Velocity Rescaling Recall KE = mv 2 /2 = 3Nk B T/2 in an unconstrained system. Simple way to alter T: rescale velocities every time step by a factor (t): If temperature at time t is T(t) and v is multiplied by, then the temperature change is T 1 2 N 2 m i ( v i ) 2 1 i 1 3 N k B 2 N i m i v i 2 N k B T T ta rg e t T (t ) ( 2 1)T (t ) T ta rg e t / T (t ) 78

79 Molecular Dynamics Simulation: NVT Velocity Rescaling This method does not generate configurations in the canonical ensemble. Why? Because system is not coupled to an external reservoir, or heat bath. Thus not a good method for controlling temperature, since it s unknown how rescaling affects properties of the system. Instead, use a proper thermostat. Using a weakly coupled thermostat can help eliminate drift in total energy due to algorithm inaccuracies and round-off error. Several types of thermostats; choose wisely depending on your problem! 79

80 Molecular Dynamics Simulation: NVT Stochastic collision method: Andersen thermostat Occasionally replace a randomly chosen particle s velocity with a velocity chosen randomly from a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution at the desired T. p (v ix ) = m 2 k B T 1/2 exp (- 1 2 k B T m v ix 2 ) This replacement represents stochastic collisions with the heat bath. Equivalent to the system being in contact with a heat bath that randomly emits thermal particles that collide with the atoms in the system and change their velocity. 80

81 Molecular Dynamics Simulation: NVT Extended system method: Nose -Hoover thermostat Introduced by Nose and developed by Hoover in Considers the thermostat to be part of the system (hence extended system ). Based on extended Lagrangian approach in which an additional dynamical variable or degree of freedom s, representing the reservoir, imposes constraint of constant T. extended system reservoir physical system 81

82 Molecular Dynamics Simulation: NVT Extended system method: Nose -Hoover thermostat Reservoir has potential energy U res and kinetic energy K res. U res = (f+1)k B T ln s K res = (Q/2)(ds/dt) 2 reservoir physical system ( t ) sp s Q f = # of dof in physical system, and T is the desired temperature. Q has dimensions energy x (time) 2, and is considered the fictitious mass of the additional degree of freedom. The magnitude of Q controls the coupling between the physical system and the reservoir, and thus influences the temperature fluctuations. 82

83 Molecular Dynamics Simulation: NVT Extended system method: Nose -Hoover thermostat Q controls the energy flow between system and reservoir. If Q is large, the energy flow is slow; the limit of infinite Q corresponds to NVE MD since there is then no exchange of energy between system and reservoir. If Q is small, then the energy oscillates unphysically, causing equilibration problems. Nose suggested Q = Cfk B T, where C can be obtained by performing trial simulations for a series of test systems and observing how well the system maintains that desired T. Upshot: equations of motion are modified and t is multiplied by Q. Read in Frenkel and Smit for details if interested. 83

84 Molecular Dynamics Simulation: NVT Extended system method: Nose -Hoover thermostat Best and most used thermostat today for NVT simulations. Ensures that average total KE per particle is that of the equilibrium isothermal ensemble. Reproduces canonical ensemble in every respect (provided only the total energy of the extended system is conserved.) If momentum also conserved, NH still works only if COM fixed. Otherwise, must use the method of NH chains. More complicated than other methods, but can be used with velocity Verlet and predictor-corrector methods. Dynamics NOT independent of Q, but better than Andersen. 84

85 Molecular Dynamics Simulation: NPT Just as one might like to specify T in an MD simulation, one might also like to maintain the system at a fixed pressure P. Simulations in the isobaric-isothermal NPT ensemble are the most similar to experimental conditions. Certain phenomena may be more easily achieved under conditions of constant pressure, like certain phase transformations. 85

86 Molecular Dynamics Simulation: NPT Two types: Andersen Barostat Allows box size to fluctuate but not change shape. Appropriate for liquids, which do not support shear stress. Change volume by rescaling positions: r = r+r Rahman-Parinello Barostat Allows box size and shape to change. Use only for solids. Necessary for simulating phase transformations. Read in Frenkel and Smit for details if interested. 86
