\section{The Self-Interaction} |
35 |
|
|
The Wolf summation~\cite{Wolf99} and the later damped shifted force |
36 |
|
|
(DSF) extension~\cite{Fennell06} included self-interactions that are |
37 |
|
|
handled outside the main pairwise interactions between sites. The |
38 |
|
|
self-interaction has contributions from two sources: |
39 |
|
|
\begin{itemize} |
40 |
|
|
\item The neutralization procedure within the cutoff radius requires a |
41 |
|
|
contribution from a charge opposite in sign, but equal in magnitude, |
42 |
|
|
to the central charge, which has been spread out over the surface of |
43 |
|
|
the cutoff sphere. This term is calculated via a single loop over |
44 |
|
|
all charges in the system. For a system of undamped charges, the |
45 |
|
|
total self-term is |
46 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
47 |
|
|
V_\textrm{self} = - \frac{1}{r_c} \sum_{{\bf a}=1}^N C_{\bf a}^{2} |
48 |
|
|
\label{eq:selfTerm} |
49 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
50 |
|
|
Note that in this potential and in all electrostatic quantities that |
51 |
|
|
follow, the standard $4 \pi \epsilon_{0}$ has been omitted for |
52 |
|
|
clarity. |
53 |
|
|
\item Charge damping with the complementary error function is a |
54 |
|
|
partial analogy to the Ewald procedure which splits the interaction |
55 |
|
|
into real and reciprocal space sums. The real space sum is retained |
56 |
|
|
in the Wolf and DSF methods. The reciprocal space sum is first |
57 |
|
|
minimized by folding the largest contribution (the self-interaction) |
58 |
|
|
into the self-interaction from charge neutralization of the damped |
59 |
|
|
potential. The remainder of the reciprocal space portion is then |
60 |
|
|
discarded (as this contributes the largest computational cost and |
61 |
|
|
complexity to the Ewald sum). For the damped charge case the |
62 |
|
|
complete self-interaction can be written as |
63 |
|
|
\begin{equation} |
64 |
|
|
V_\textrm{self} = - \left(\frac{2 \alpha}{\sqrt{\pi}} |
65 |
|
|
+ \frac{\textrm{erfc}(\alpha r_c)}{r_c}\right) \sum_{{\bf a}=1}^N |
66 |
|
|
C_{\bf a}^{2}. |
67 |
|
|
\label{eq:dampSelfTerm} |
68 |
|
|
\end{equation} |
69 |
|
|
\end{itemize} |
70 |
|
|
|
71 |
|
|
The extension of DSF electrostatics to point multipoles requires |
72 |
|
|
treatment of {\it both} the self-neutralization and reciprocal |
73 |
|
|
contributions to the self-interaction for higher order multipoles. In |
74 |
|
|
this section we give formulae for these interactions and discuss the |
75 |
|
|
relative sizes of these contributions. |
76 |
|
|
|
77 |
|
|
The self-neutralization term is computed by taking the {\it |
78 |
|
|
non-shifted} kernel for each interaction, placing a multipole of |
79 |
|
|
equal magnitude (but opposite in polarization) on the surface of the |
80 |
|
|
cutoff sphere, and averaging over the surface of the cutoff sphere. |
81 |
|
|
The reciprocal-space portion is identical to theself-term obtained by |
82 |
|
|
Smith and Aguado and Madden for the application of the Ewald sum to |
83 |
|
|
multipoles.\cite{Smith82,Smith98,Aguado03} For a given site which |
84 |
|
|
posesses a charge, dipole, and multipole, both types of contribution |
85 |
|
|
are given in table \ref{tab:tableSelf}. |

|
|
For sites which contain both charges and quadrupoles, the |
109 |
|
|
self-interaction includes a cross-interaction between these two |
110 |
|
|
multipoles. Symmetry prevents the charge-dipole and dipole-quadrupole |
111 |
|
|
interactions from contributing to the self-interaction. The functions |
112 |
|
|
that go into the self-neutralization terms are derivatives of Smith's |
113 |
|
|
$B_0(r)$ function that have been evaluated at the cutoff distance. |
114 |
|
|
For example, $f(r_c) = \left(\frac{d B_0}{dr}\right)_{r_c}$, $g(r_c) = |
115 |
|
|
\left(\frac{d^2 B_0}{dr^2}\right)_{r_c}$, and so on. |
116 |
|
|
|
117 |
|
|
As the order of multipoles increases, the reciprocal portion is |
118 |
|
|
expected to shrink rapidly. This is expected as the range of the |
119 |
|
|
interaction is also decreasing dramatically. |
120 |
|
|
|
121 |
|
|
One final question: Are there torques that arise from the self |
122 |
|
|
interactions? |
