 \subsection{Compressibility of gold nanoparticles}
 
-The compressibility is well-known for gold, and it provides a good first
-test of how the method compares to other similar methods.   
+The compressibility (and its inverse, the bulk modulus) is well-known
+for gold, and is captured well by the embedded atom method
+(EAM)~\cite{PhysRevB.33.7983} potential
+and related multi-body force fields.  In particular, the quantum
+Sutton-Chen potential gets nearly quantitative agreement with the
+experimental bulk modulus values, and makes a good first test of how
+the Langevin Hull will perform at large applied pressures.

+The Sutton-Chen (SC) potentials are based on a model of a metal which
+treats the nuclei and core electrons as pseudo-atoms embedded in the
+electron density due to the valence electrons on all of the other
+atoms in the system.\cite{Chen90} The SC potential has a simple form that closely
+resembles the Lennard Jones potential,
+\begin{equation}
+\label{eq:SCP1} 
+U_{tot}=\sum _{i}\left[ \frac{1}{2}\sum _{j\neq i}D_{ij}V^{pair}_{ij}(r_{ij})-c_{i}D_{ii}\sqrt{\rho_{i}}\right] , 
+\end{equation}
+where $V^{pair}_{ij}$ and $\rho_{i}$ are given by 
+\begin{equation}
+\label{eq:SCP2} 
+V^{pair}_{ij}(r)=\left( \frac{\alpha_{ij}}{r_{ij}}\right)^{n_{ij}}, \rho_{i}=\sum_{j\neq i}\left( \frac{\alpha_{ij}}{r_{ij}}\right) ^{m_{ij}}. 
+\end{equation}
+$V^{pair}_{ij}$ is a repulsive pairwise potential that accounts for
+interactions between the pseudoatom cores. The $\sqrt{\rho_i}$ term in
+Eq. (\ref{eq:SCP1}) is an attractive many-body potential that models
+the interactions between the valence electrons and the cores of the
+pseudo-atoms. $D_{ij}$, $D_{ii}$ set the appropriate overall energy
+scale, $c_i$ scales the attractive portion of the potential relative
+to the repulsive interaction and $\alpha_{ij}$ is a length parameter
+that assures a dimensionless form for $\rho$. These parameters are
+tuned to various experimental properties such as the density, cohesive
+energy, and elastic moduli for FCC transition metals. The quantum
+Sutton-Chen (QSC) formulation matches these properties while including
+zero-point quantum corrections for different transition
+metals.\cite{PhysRevB.59.3527}
+
+In bulk gold, the experimentally-measured value for the bulk modulus
+is 180.32 GPa, while previous calculations on the QSC potential in
+periodic-boundary simulations of the bulk have yielded values of
+175.53 GPa.\cite{XXX} Using the same force field, we have performed a
+series of relatively short (200 ps) simulations on 40 \r{A} radius
+nanoparticles under the Langevin Hull at a variety of applied
+pressures ranging from 0 GPa to XXX.  We obtain a value of 177.547 GPa
+for the bulk modulus for gold using this echnique.
