摘要:

介绍了一种新的基于Langevin方程的恒温路径积分分子动力学(PIMD)算法。采用路径积分珠的分段变换进行了论证。在自由颗粒的限制分级模式的最佳摩擦系数用于所有系统。在比较的路径积分朗之万方程(PILE)恒温器,新算法利用了不同的顺序分裂相空间传播的朗之万方程。虽然这两种算法的误差分析,他们也被用于PIMD模拟的三个现实系统(H2O分子,液态仲氢,液态水)进行比较。结果表明,在达到相同精度的情况下,新的恒温器使PIMD的时间间隔增加了4~6倍或更多。此外,补充材料显示的算法时,路径积分珠的正常模式转换进行的误差分析。

英文摘要:

We introduce a novel simple algorithm for thermostatting path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) with the Langevin equation. The staging transformation of path integral beads is employed for demonstration. The optimum friction coefficients for the staging modes in the free particle limit are used for all systems. In comparison to the path integral Langevin equation (PILE) thermostat, the new algorithm exploits a different order of splitting for the phase space propagator associated to the Langevin equation. While the error analysis is made for both algorithms, they are also employed in the PIMD simulations of three realistic systems (the H2O molecule, liquid para-hydrogen, and liquid water) for comparison. It is shown that the new thermostat increases the time interval of PIMD by a factor of 4~6 or more for achieving the same accuracy. In addition, supplemental material shows the error analysis made for the algorithms when the normal-mode transformation of path integral beads is used.
