On the construction of a bias potential for atomic system simulation by the hyperdynamics method

On the construction of a bias potential for atomic system simulation by the hyperdynamics method Hyperdynamics is the method of accelerated molecular dynamics simulation based on lowering energy barriers while performing the dynamic simulation of a nano/atomic system. A system with reduced energy barriers between different states is obtained by changing the potential of interaction, namely, by constructing the so-called bias potential. An approach allowing a bias potential to be obtained is considered. To demonstrate this method, the hyperdynamics simulation of the diffusion of an atom, adsorbed on a 2D crystal surface, and a vacancy, located in its bulk, is carried out. The results are compared with relevant results obtained by molecular dynamics. It is shown that the hyperdynamics approach makes it possible to obtain statistical results, similar to those provided by molecular dynamics. This allows the accelerated simulation of atomic systems to be conducted with minor losses in the accuracy of results. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Surface Investigation.

Abstract

Hyperdynamics is the method of accelerated molecular dynamics simulation based on lowering energy barriers while performing the dynamic simulation of a nano/atomic system. A system with reduced energy barriers between different states is obtained by changing the potential of interaction, namely, by constructing the so-called bias potential. An approach allowing a bias potential to be obtained is considered. To demonstrate this method, the hyperdynamics simulation of the diffusion of an atom, adsorbed on a 2D crystal surface, and a vacancy, located in its bulk, is carried out. The results are compared with relevant results obtained by molecular dynamics. It is shown that the hyperdynamics approach makes it possible to obtain statistical results, similar to those provided by molecular dynamics. This allows the accelerated simulation of atomic systems to be conducted with minor losses in the accuracy of results.
