A computer simulation method for the calculation of equilibrium constants for the formation of physical clusters of molecules: Application to small water clusters

TL;DR: In this article, a molecular dynamics computer simulation method for calculating equilibrium constants for the formation of physical clusters of molecules is presented, which is based on Hill's formal theory of physical clustering.

A computer simulation method for the calculation of equilibrium constants for the formation of physical clusters of molecules: Application to small water clusters

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a molecular dynamics computer simulation method for calculating equilibrium constants for the formation of physical clusters of molecules based on Hill's formal theory of physical clustering, which is used to calculate the average potential energy of a cluster of molecules as a function of temperature and the equilibrium constants are calculated from the integral of the energy with respect to reciprocal temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermodynamics and quantum corrections from molecular dynamics for liquid water

TL;DR: In this article, a spectral analysis of the atomic velocity time histories is presented for the frequency domain quantum correction of classical thermodynamic values, based on the approximation that potential anharmonicities mainly affect the lower frequencies in the velocity spectrum, while the higher spectral frequencies, where the deviation from classical mechanics is most pronounced, involve sufficiently harmonic atomic motions that harmonic quantum corrections apply.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular dynamics and spectra. I. Diatomic rotation and vibration

TL;DR: In this article, the pure rotational and vibrational absorption bands for a diatomic are calculated directly from classical molecular dynamics, classical linear response theory, and classical statistical mechanical ensemble averaging, with the use of simple quantum corrections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electronic spectra from molecular dynamics: A simple approach

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for computing the contours of electronic absorption bands from classical equilibrium or nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (or equally for equilibrium systems from Monte Carlo or explicit integration over coordinates) is presented.
