  6. Purpose • Are classical molecular dynamics simulations useful for study of heat flow? • Heat • Molecular motion • Low frequency vibrations • Classical molecular dynamics uses molecular mechanics • Parameterized for high frequency vibrations

  7. Molecular Mechanics • Mathematical method to model the shape of molecules • Parameterized • Young, D. Computational Chemistry: A Practical Guide for Applying Techniques to Real World Problems. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2001. p. 49-52p; p.60-62

  8. Ab initio • Based on interactions between nuclei and electrons • No electron correlation • Not parameterized • Long time, no molecular dynamics • Analyze ability of molecular mechanics to calculate low frequency vibrations

  9. Adressing the problem • Calculate low frequency vibrations for a small portion of polymer • Molecular mechanics (parameterized) • MMFF • DREIDING • UFF • Semi-empirical (parameterized) • AM1 • Ab initio (not parameterized) • HF/6-31G* • HF/6-31+G* • Repeat molecular dynamics calculations with similar models Cramer, Christopher J.
