46 Practical Points Boundaries CPU saving methods Reduced units Long ranged forces

47 Boundary effects In small systems, boundary effects are always large atoms in a simple cubic crystal 488 boundary atoms atoms in a simple cubic crystal still 6% boundary atoms.

48 Periodic boundary conditions

49 ener(x,en) energies)

50 Energy evaluation costs! The most time-consuming part of any simulation is the evaluation of all the interactions between the molecules. In general: (-1)/2 = O( 2 ) But often, intermolecular forces have a short range: Therefore, we do not have to consider interactions with far- away atoms.

54 Phase diagrams of Lennard Jones fluids

55 Long ranged interactions Long-ranged forces require special techniques. Coulomb interaction (1/r in 3D) Dipolar interaction (1/r 3 in 3D)...and, in a different context: Interactions through elastic stresses (1/r in 3D) Hydrodynamic interactions (1/r in 3D)

56 Reduced units Example: Particles with mass m and pair potential: Unit of length: Unit of energy: σ ε Unit of time:

57 Beyond standard MC on Boltzmann Sampling Lecture 2 Parallel tempering More to Come Tomorrow (Daan Frenkel)

58 Parallel tempering/replica Exchange Ergodicity problems can occur, especially in glassy systems: biomolecules, molecular glasses, gels, etc. The solution: go to high temperature High barriers in energy landscape: difficult to sample E low T Barriers effectively low: easy to sample E phase space high T phase space

59 Parallel tempering/replica Exchange Simulate two systems simultaneously system 1 system 2 temperature T 1 temperature T 2 e 1U 1 (r ) e 2U 2 (r ) total Boltzmann weight: e 1U 1 (r ) e 2U 2 (r )

60 Swap move Allow two systems to swap system 2 system 1 temperature T 1 temperature T 2 e 1U 2 (r ) e 2U 1 (r ) total Boltzmann weight: e 1U 2 (r ) e 2U 1 (r )

61 Acceptance rule The ratio of the new Boltzmann factor over the old one is (n) (o) = e( 2 1)[U 2 (r ) U 2 1(r )] The swap acceptance ratio is acc(1 2) = min 1,e ( 2 1)[U 2 (r ) U 1 (r )]

62 More replicas Consider M replica s in the VT ensemble at a different temperature. A swap between two systems of different temperatures (T i,t j ) is accepted if their potential energies are near. other parameters can be used: Hamiltonian exchange
