Quantum Calculation of Molecular Energies and Energy Gradients in Solution by a Conductor Solvent Model

Vincenzo Barone, Maurizio Cossi · 20 Feb 1998

A new implementation of the conductor-like screening solvation model (COSMO) in the GAUSSIAN94 package is presented. It allows Hartree−Fock (HF), density functional (DF) and post-HF energy, and HF and DF gradient calculations: the cavities are modeled on the molecular shape, using recently optimized parameters, and both electrostatic and nonelectrostatic contributions to energies and gradients are…

ReaxFF:  A Reactive Force Field for Hydrocarbons

Adri C. T. van Duin, Siddharth Dasgupta, François Lorant et al. · 22 Sep 2001

To make practical the molecular dynamics simulation of large scale reactive chemical systems (1000s of atoms), we developed ReaxFF, a force field for reactive systems. ReaxFF uses a general relationship between bond distance and bond order on one hand and between bond order and bond energy on the other hand that leads to proper dissociation…

Structure and Dynamics of the TIP3P, SPC, and SPC/E Water Models at 298 K

Pekka Mark, Lennart Nilsson · 6 Oct 2001

Molecular dynamics simulations of five water models, the TIP3P (original and modified), SPC (original and refined), and SPC/E (original), were performed using the CHARMM molecular mechanics program. All simulations were carried out in the microcanonical NVE ensemble, using 901 water molecules in a cubic simulation cell furnished with periodic boundary conditions at 298 K. The…

Crystal Orbital Hamilton Population (COHP) Analysis As Projected from Plane-Wave Basis Sets

Volker L. Deringer, Andrei L. Tchougréeff, Richard Dronskowski · 6 May 2011

Simple, yet predictive bonding models are essential achievements of chemistry. In the solid state, in particular, they often appear in the form of visual bonding indicators. Because the latter require the crystal orbitals to be constructed from local basis sets, the application of the most popular density-functional theory codes (namely, those based on plane waves…

Global Optimization by Basin-Hopping and the Lowest Energy Structures of Lennard-Jones Clusters Containing up to 110 Atoms

David J. Wales, Jonathan P. K. Doye · 1 Jul 1997

We describe a global optimization technique using “basin-hopping” in which the potential energy surface is transformed into a collection of interpenetrating staircases. This method has been designed to exploit the features that recent work suggests must be present in an energy landscape for efficient relaxation to the global minimum. The transformation associates any point in…
