Journal ArticleDOI

Polymorphic transitions in single crystals: A new molecular dynamics method

TL;DR: In this paper, a new Lagrangian formulation is introduced to make molecular dynamics (MD) calculations on systems under the most general externally applied, conditions of stress, which is well suited to the study of structural transformations in solids under external stress and at finite temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Canonical sampling through velocity rescaling

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new molecular dynamics algorithm for sampling the canonical distribution, where the velocities of all the particles are rescaled by a properly chosen random factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unified Approach for Molecular Dynamics and Density-Functional Theory

TL;DR: In this article, a unified scheme combining molecular dynamics and density-functional theory is presented, which makes possible the simulation of both covalently bonded and metallic systems and permits the application of density functional theory to much larger systems than previously feasible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Escaping free-energy minima

TL;DR: A powerful method for exploring the properties of the multidimensional free energy surfaces of complex many-body systems by means of coarse-grained non-Markovian dynamics in the space defined by a few collective coordinates is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

QUICKSTEP: Fast and accurate density functional calculations using a mixed Gaussian and plane waves approach

TL;DR: It is shown how derivatives of the GPW energy functional, namely ionic forces and the Kohn–Sham matrix, can be computed in a consistent way and the computational cost is scaling linearly with the system size, even for condensed phase systems of just a few tens of atoms.
