2 From the microscopic to the macroscopic level: the realm of statistical mechanics Computer simulations Thermodynamic state Generates information at the microscopic level Defined by a small set of macroscopic parameters Atomic positions Pressure Momenta Temperature Number of particles Can be thought of as coordinates of a multidimensional space of dimensions: the phase space Other thermodynamic properties may be derived through the knowledge of the equation of state and the fundamental equations of thermodynamics
3 Statistical sampling from ensembles A particular point in phase space A given property (for instance, the potential energy) Instantaneous value of the property when the system is at point It is reasonable to assume that the experimentally observable macroscopic property is really the time average of taken over a long time interval The equations governing this time evolution (Newton's equation of motion in a simple classical system) are well known
4 Statistical sampling from ensembles The equations governing this time evolution (Newton's equation of motion in a simple classical system) are well known But we can not hope to extend the integration of the dynamical equations: - For a truly macroscopic number To infinite time We might be satisfied to average over: - A system of the order of thousand of atoms (length and size scale) - Over a long but finite time (time scale) That is what we do in MD simulations: The equations of motion is solved step by step a large number of steps
5 Practical questions regarding the validity of the method Whether or not a sufficient region of phase space is explored by the system trajectory within a feasible amount of computer time Whether thermodynamic consistency can be attained between simulation with identical macroscopic parameters (density, energy, ) but different initial conditions Such simulation runs are within the power of modern computers
6 Ergodicity In MD we want to replace a full sampling on the appropriate statistical ensemble by a SINGLE very long trajectory. This is OK only if system is ergodic. Ergodic Hypothesis: a phase point for any isolated system passes in succession through every point compatible with the energy of the system before finally returning to its original position in phase space. This journey takes a Poincare cycle. In other words, Ergodic hypothesis: each state consistent with our knowledge is equally likely. Implies the average value does not depend on initial conditions. <A> time = <A> ensemble, so <A time > = (1/N MD ) = t=1,n A t is good estimator. Are systems in nature really ergodic? Not always! Non-ergodic examples are glasses, folding proteins (in practice) and harmonic crystals (in principle).
7 Ergodicity is the phase space density
8 Different aspects of ergodicity The system relaxes on a reasonable time scale towards a unique equilibrium state (microcanonical state) Trajectories wander irregularly through the energy surface eventually sampling all of accesible phase space. Trajectories initially close together separate rapidily (Sensitivity to initial conditions). Ergodic behavior makes possible the use of statistical methods on MD of small system. Small round-off errors and other mathematical approximations should not matter.

10 Simple thermodynamic averages: mechanical energy The kinetic, potential, and total energies might be calculated using the phase functions already seen Average of kinetic energy Sum of contribution from individual particle momenta Average of potential energy Sum over all pairs, triplets, depending on the complexity of the potential energy function
11 Simple thermodynamic averages: virial theorem in the form of generalized equipartition
12 Simple thermodynamic averages: temperature Applying the previous formula to compute the average kinetic energy in the atomic case Familiar equipartition energy: an average energy of per degree of freedom
13 Simple thermodynamic averages: instantaneous temperature We can define an instantaneous kinetic energy function from the momenta of the atoms at a given time step (not averaged) whose average is equal to For a system of atoms subject to internal molecular constraints, the number of degrees of freedom will be, where is the total number of independent internal constraints In we should include the fixed bond lengths, angles, or additional global constraints (on the center of mass motion, for instance)
14 Simple thermodynamic averages: pressure Let us assume that we are using Cartesian coordinates, and we use the Hamilton s equation of motion
15 Simple thermodynamic averages: pressure Let us assume that we are using Cartesian coordinates, and we use the Hamilton s equation of motion represents the sum of internal molecular forces and external forces
16 Simple thermodynamic averages: pressure The external forces are related to the external pressure. Considering the effect of the container walls on the system If we define the internal virial, where we now restrict our attention to the intermolecular forces, then So, finally
17 Simple thermodynamic averages: instantaneous pressure As it happened with the temperature, we can define the instantaneous pressure function as whose average is simply This definition of the instantaneous pressure is not unique. For instance, for a constant temperature ensemble we can define Both definitions of the instantaneous pressure give the same when averaged, but their fluctuations in any ensemble would be different Although the systems simulated we use periodic boundary conditions (and therefore there are no walls), the results are the same
18 Simple thermodynamic averages: instantaneous pressure For pairwise interaction, we can express in a form that is explicitly independent of the origin of coordinates The indices and are equivalent Newton s third law is used to switch the force indices where
19 Simple thermodynamic averages: instantaneous pressure In a simulation that uses periodic boundary condition, it is essential to use where the intermolecular pair virial function Like is limited by the range of the interactions, and hence should be a well behaved, ensemble-independent function in most cases
20 Simple thermodynamic averages: number of molecules and volume Average number of particles Average number of particles Are easily evaluated in the simulation of ensembles in which these quantities vary, and derived functions such as the enthalpy are easily calculated from the above
21 Constant temperature molecular dynamics: the canonical ensemble A physical picture of a system corresponding to the canonical ensemble Involves weak interactions between molecules of the system and the particles of a heat bath at a specific temperature SYSTEM T Reservoir Simulate an extended system : - the real system - an external (virtual) system, acting as a heat reservoir The energy is allowed to flow dynamically from the reservoir to the system and back. The heat reservoir controls the temperature of the given system, i. e., the temperature fluctuates around a target value. The reservoir is simply included by an extra degree of freedom,, with momentum
22 Constant temperature molecular dynamics: variables of the Nose-Hoover thermostat SYSTEM T Reservoir The heat bath is considered as an integral part of the system by addition of - an extra degree of freedom, - an extra mometum, - a mass,, [dimensions: (energy) (times) 2 ]. This variable controls the rate of temperature fluctuations
23 Constant temperature molecular dynamics: variables of the Nose-Hoover thermostat: the artificial variable SYSTEM T Reservoir The extra degree of freedom (artificial parameter) s, plays the role of a time scaling parameter. The time scale in the extended system,, is scaled by the factor s Virtual time in the extended system Real time
24 Constant temperature molecular dynamics: variables of the Nose-Hoover thermostat: the artificial momentum SYSTEM T Reservoir The atomic coordinates are identical in both systems Atomic coordinates in the extended system Atomic coordinates in the real system Momentum in the extended system Momentum in the real system
25 Constant temperature molecular dynamics: variables of the Nose-Hoover thermostat: the extended Lagrangian The Lagrangian of the extended system is Kinetic energy minus the potential Kinetic energy of energy of the real system the thermostat Extra potential The extra potential is chosen to ensure that the algorithm produces a canonical ensemble Numbers of degree of freedom: 3N 3N-3 if the total momentum is fixed +1 because of the extra degree of freedom of the thermostat
26 Constant temperature molecular dynamics: the Lagrangian equations for the Nose-Hoover thermostat The Lagrangian equations of motions are
27 Constant temperature molecular dynamics: the Lagrangian equations for the Nose-Hoover thermostat The Lagrangian equations of motions are
28 Constant temperature molecular dynamics: the Lagrangian equations for the Nose-Hoover thermostat The Lagrangian equations of motions are The equations of motion are solved using the standard predictor-corrector method These equations sample a microcanonical ensemble in the extended system. The extended system Hamiltonian is conserved However, the energy of the real system is not constant. Accompanying the fluctuations of s, heat transfers occur between the system and a heat bath, which regulate the system temperature.
29 Constant temperature molecular dynamics: Choice of Q in the Nose-Hoover thermostat Too high Too low Slow energy flow between the system and the reservoir Long lived weakly damping oscillations of energy occur, resulting in poor equilibration regain conventional Molecular Dynamics
