16 Classical Particle-Based 'Bottom-Up' Approaches to the Many-Body-Problem Molecular Dynamics vs. Monte Marlo Molecular dynamics: - deterministic simulation model: exploration of the (classical) position-momentum phase-space ( real many-particle dynamcis!) Metropolis Monte Carlo method: - random number based simulation model: applied to efficiently sample the high-dimensional configuration space ( equilibrium properties only, but direct implementation of T, direct extension to quantum systems)
17 Historical Review

19 Molecular dynamics motion Simulations by means of first mainframe computers by B.J. Alder & T.E. Wainwright in the late 1950's quasi-long-range ordered solid phase short-range ordered fluid phase liquid-vapor region shown are the trajectories of hard sphere particles with periodic boundary conditions valueable insights concerning the collective behaviour of interacting many-body systems: phase transitions!
20 Why Computer Simulations? Molecular Dynamics simulations are a central part in the different directions in sciences due to the fact that: computer simulations are cheap and do not require extensive laboratory facilities, computer experiments can be repeated arbitrarily often and easily modified, comprehensive scans of large parameter sets and ranges can help to discover the conditions of exceptional physical phenomena or optimal settings for physical experiments, computer-simulated experiments can provide maximum information at the microscopic level and therefore help to give a deeper understanding of measurements.
21 The Basics: Time propagation of the N-particle Hamiltonian Integration of the Equation of Motion - in molecular dynamics the time propagation is achieved by high-precision numerical integration of the N coupled Newtonian differential equations
22 The Basics: Time propagation of the N-particle Hamiltonian Integration of the Equation of Motion - in molecular dynamics the time propagation is achieved by high-precision numerical integration of the N coupled Newtonian differential equations - these equations are splitted into a coupled system of first-order ODEs
23 The Basics: Time propagation of the N-particle Hamiltonian Integration of the Equation of Motion - in molecular dynamics the time propagation is achieved by high-precision numerical integration of the N coupled Newtonian differential equations - these equations are splitted into a coupled system of first-order ODEs - total force this formulation is equivalent to the Hamilton equations, where
24 The Basics: Time propagation of the N-particle Hamiltonian Integration of the Equation of Motion - once the positions and velocities of all particles are known, their dynamical propagation through the position-momentum space can be directly computed
25 The Basics: Time propagation of the N-particle Hamiltonian Integration of the Equation of Motion - once the positions and velocities of all particles are known, their dynamical propagation through the position-momentum space can be directly computed simplest approach: keep integrand const. in the interval Euler Method (Simplest integration scheme)
26 The Basics: Time propagation of the N-particle Hamiltonian Integration of the Equation of Motion - once the positions and velocities of all particles are known, their dynamical propagation through the position-momentum space can be directly computed simplest approach: keep integrand const. in the interval Euler Method (Simplest integration scheme) Result: trajectories in 6N dimensional phase space calculate all (dynamical) classical properties
27 The Basics: Time propagation of the N-particle Hamiltonian MD program structure initialize positions and velocities set time compute the forces acting on the particles integrate equation of motion (Euler method) increment time save data loop the timeloop
28 MD Simulations: Computer Experiments 3D Coulomb cluster of 12 classical identical particles in external parabolic potential (Γ=5000)
29 The Basics: Time propagation of the N-particle Hamiltonian Choosing the time step too small: program runs too slow (covering only small phase space) too large: instability! the choice of the integrator scheme and step size is of crucial importance!
30 Advanced Numerical Time Integration Schemes Adaptive stepsize controlled algorithm based on the fifth-order Runge-Kutta formula Requires Six (force) function evaluations to advance the solution through the interval h from xn to xn+1 xn+h Another combination of the six functions ki yields an embedded fourth-order Runge-Kutta formula ai, bij, ci and ci* are the Cash-Karp coefficients The difference between the fourth- and fifth-order accurate estimates y(x+h) gives an estimate of the local truncation error The desired degree of predetermined accuracy is achieved with minimum computational effort
