[Pw_forum] classical potential MD simulation

2011-02-19 Thread Giovanni La Penna

It may be possible to make QM/MM with QE and
some empirical MD package. Some years ago a sort
of plugin was build for DLPOLY/Siesta:

J. Torras et al., PUPIL: a systematic approach to
software integration in multi-scale simulations
Comp. Phys. Commun. 177, 265 (2007).

Maybe, with a limited amount of work, additional
software, etc.. There is a big problem with PBC
for QM area merged into a classical system larger
than QM boundaries.

[Pw_forum] classical potential MD simulation

2011-02-19 Thread sakthi kumaran
Dear all,
Is it possible to compute the interaction between two capped
nanotubes facing each other using classical LJ12 potential using Molecular
dynamics technique in Quantum espresso.If possible what is the procedure for
doing so.

Thank you guys in advance

Dear sakthi kumaran,

It's not possible to perform classical molecular dynamics in Quantum Espresso 
now. QE can do ab-initio molecular dynamics: Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics 
and Born-Oppenheimer Molecular Dynamics.

PS. Next time please take a few seconds to sign your post with your affiliation.

Best wishes,
Changru
