We have developed a new isobaric-isothermal (NPT) algorithm which |
| 41 |
applies an external pressure to the facets comprising the convex |
| 42 |
hull surrounding the objects in the system. Additionally, a Langevin |
| 43 |
thermostat is applied to facets of the hull to mimic contact with an |
| 44 |
external heat bath. This new method, the ``Langevin Hull'', |
| 45 |
performs better than traditional affine transform methods for |
| 46 |
systems containing heterogeneous mixtures of materials with |
| 47 |
different compressibilities. It does not suffer from the edge |
| 48 |
effects of boundary potential methods, and allows realistic |
| 49 |
treatment of both external pressure and thermal conductivity to an |
| 50 |
implicit solvents. We apply this method to several different |
| 51 |
systems including bare nano-particles, nano-particles in explicit |
| 52 |
solvent, as well as clusters of liquid water and ice. The predicted |
| 53 |
mechanical and thermal properties of these systems are in good |
| 54 |
agreement with experimental data. |

\section{Methodology} |
| 92 |
|
| 93 |
A new method which uses a constant pressure and temperature bath that |
| 94 |
interacts with the objects that are currently at the edge of the |
| 95 |
system. |
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
Novel features: No a priori geometry is defined, No affine transforms, |
| 98 |
No fictitious particles, No bounding potentials. |
| 99 |
|
| 100 |
Simulation starts as a collection of atomic locations in 3D (a point |
| 101 |
cloud). |
| 102 |
|
| 103 |
Delaunay triangulation finds all facets between coplanar neighbors. |
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
The Convex Hull is the set of facets that have no concave corners at a |
| 106 |
vertex. |
| 107 |
|
| 108 |
Molecules on the convex hull are dynamic. As they re-enter the |
| 109 |
cluster, all interactions with the external bath are removed.The |
| 110 |
external bath applies pressure to the facets of the convex hull in |
| 111 |
direct proportion to the area of the facet.Thermal coupling depends on |
| 112 |
the solvent temperature, friction and the size and shape of each |
| 113 |
facet. |

m_i \dot{\mathbf v}_i(t)=-{\mathbf \nabla}_i U |

& & \text{facet} \ f\ \text{and the viscosity of the fluid.} |
| 148 |
\end{eqnarray} |
| 149 |
|

\begin{eqnarray} |
| 151 |
\left< {\mathbf R}_f(t) \right> & = & 0 \\ |
