제목 | Molecular dynamics simulation using artificial neural nets |
초록 | In this talk I shall present a new method of conducting molecular dynamics (MD) simulations that uses an artificial neural to increase computational speed by over two orders of magnitude. The technique enables dynamical simulation of hard objects of essentially arbitrarily complex geometry and is well suited to the simulation of granular materials or polymers that contain granular additives. The method will be illustrated using an MD study of an ensemble of 1800 hard smooth impenetrable equilateral triangles in two dimensions. At high packing fraction (0.6 < ρ <0.9) this system exists as a liquid-crystalline-like phase (LCP) in which there is no long-range translational order but in which there is nearly perfect long-range orientational order. As the packing fraction decreases the LCP undergoes a transition to a fluid state in which the long-range orientational correlation vanishes but short-range order is retained. Long-lived clusters, notably hexamers are clearly apparent in the liquid phase and appear to be stabilized by a sort of internal “orientational” osmotic pressure. It is clearly seen that even at very low packing fraction the shape of particulate additives gives rise to long-range structures that are not random. These methods have the potential to bridge the distance and timescale gap in molecular dynamics simulation and are complimentary to coarse grained simulations. The extension to atomistic and colloidal systems will be discussed briefly. References: J.F. Maguire et. al., Proc. Materials Research Society, vol.700, 241, 2002. R.S. Saksena, L.V.
