Hi Would you please say more about your system? How do you design / decide your simulation size of 100 surfactants +100 co-surfactants + 4000 water molecules??
How many surfactants will form a micelle? How many atoms does one surfactant have? How many atoms does one co-surfactant have? Do you start from the critical micelle concentration? You mentioned that it took 3 x 600 ps to see the micelles. Do you mean that you have 3 computers to do the parallel simulation? How long does it take to simulate 600 ps? Do you visualize the whole 600 ps-image and SEE the micelle? Or, other technique to KNOW the surfactants forming the micelles without visualizing the system? Thank you Lin Hello there... I carried out simulations of mixture of cationic surfactants, fatty alcohols and water with various ratios of surfactant/alcohol. Usually for a system of 100 surfactants +100 co-surfactants + 4000 water molecules, it took 3 x 600 ps to see the micelles and other structures forming from random configurations.
