通过真实或虚拟动力学理解具有随机过程的分子动力学

Understanding Molecular Dynamics with Stochastic Processes via Real or Virtual Dynamics

Dezhang Li, Zifei Chen, Zhijun Zhang, Jian Liu

摘要:

结合随机过程的分子动力学为计算化学、生物和材料体系的结构和热力学性质提供了一种方便的方法。结果表明,我们为朗之万方程提出的虚动力学情况[J. Chem. Phys. 147,184104(2017)]原则上也存在于其他类型的随机恒温器中。作为示例,研究了Andersen恒温器的推荐中间方案[J. Chem. Phys. 147,034109(2017)]。分析和数值计算结果表明,在高碰撞频率极限下,真实动力学和虚拟动力学的特征相关时间接近同一平台,但在很宽的范围内,采样的精度和效率对碰撞频率的值相对不敏感。在我们比较了Andersen恒温器和Langevin动力学的行为之后,我们提出了一个启发式的示意图来理解具有分子动力学的有效的随机恒温过程。

英文摘要:

Molecular dynamics with the stochastic process provides a convenient way to compute structural and thermodynamic properties of chemical, biological, and materials systems. It is demonstrated that the virtual dynamics case that we proposed for the Langevin equation [J. Chem. Phys. 147, 184104 (2017)] in principle exists in other types of stochastic thermostats as well. The recommended middle scheme [J. Chem. Phys. 147, 034109 (2017)] of the Andersen thermostat is investigated as an example. As shown by both analytic and numerical results, while the real and virtual dynamics cases approach the same plateau of the characteristic correlation time in the high collision frequency limit, the accuracy and efficiency of sampling are relatively insensitive to the value of the collision frequency in a broad range. After we compare the behaviors of the Andersen thermostat to those of Langevin dynamics, a heuristic schematic representation is proposed for understanding efficient stochastic thermostatting processes with molecular dynamics.
