69     We have adapted the Velocity Shearing and Scaling Reverse Non-Equilibium Molecular Dynamics (VSS-RNEMD) method for use with aperiodic system geometries. This new method is capable of creating stable temperature and angular velocity gradients in heterogeneous non-periodic systems while conserving total energy and angular momentum. To demonstrate the method, we have computed the thermal conductivities of a gold nanoparticle and water cluster, the shear viscosity of a water cluster, the interfacial thermal conductivity of a solvated gold nanoparticle and the interfacial friction of solvated gold nanostructures.

92    
93     We have chosen the SPC/E water model for these simulations. There are many values for physical properties from previous simulations available for direct comparison.
94    
95     Gold-gold interactions are described by the quantum Sutton-Chen (QSC) model. The QSC parameters are tuned to experimental properties such as density, cohesive energy, and elastic moduli and include zero-point quantum corrections.
96    
97     Hexane molecules are described by the TraPPE united atom model. This model provides good computational efficiency and reasonable accuracy for bulk thermal conductivity values.
98    
99     Metal-nonmetal interactions are governed by parameters derived from Luedtke and Landman.

105     \subsection{Dynamics for non-periodic systems}
106    
107     We have run all tests using the Langevin Hull nonperiodic simulation methodology. The Langevin Hull uses a Delaunay tesselation to create a dynamic convex hull composed of triangular facets with vertices at atomic sites. Atomic sites included in the hull are coupled to an external bath defined by a temperature, pressure and viscosity. Atoms not included in the hull are subject to standard Newtonian dynamics. Thermal coupling to the bath was turned off to avoid interference with any imposed kinetic flux. Systems containing liquids were run under moderate pressure ($\sim$ 5 atm) to avoid the formation of a substantial vapor phase, which would have a hull created out of a relatively small number of molecules.

110     % NON-PERIODIC RNEMD

112     \subsection{VSS-RNEMD for non-periodic systems}
113    
114     The adaptation of VSS-RNEMD for non-periodic systems is relatively
115     straightforward. The major modifications to the method are the addition of a rotational shearing term and the use of more versatile hot / cold regions instead
116     of rectangular slabs. A temperature profile along the $r$ coordinate is created by recording the average temperature of concentric spherical shells.
117    
118     At each time interval, the particle velocities ($\mathbf{v}_i$ and
119     $\mathbf{v}_j$) in the cold and hot shells ($C$ and $H$) are modified by a
120     velocity scaling coefficient ($c$ and $h$), an additive linear velocity shearing
121     term ($\mathbf{a}_c$ and $\mathbf{a}_h$), and an additive angular velocity
122     shearing term ($\mathbf{b}_c$ and $\mathbf{b}_h$). Here, $\langle
123     \mathbf{v}_{i,j} \rangle$ and $\langle \mathbf{\omega}_{i,j} \rangle$ are the
124     average linear and angular velocities for each shell.
125    
126     \begin{displaymath}
127     \begin{array}{rclcl}
128     & \underline{~~~~~~~~~~\mathrm{scaling}~~~~~~~~~~} & &
129     \underline{\mathrm{rotational \; shearing}} \\ \\
130     \mathbf{v}_i $~~~$\leftarrow &
131     c \, \left(\mathbf{v}_i - \langle \omega_c
132     \rangle \times r_i\right) & + & \mathbf{b}_c \times r_i \\
133     \mathbf{v}_j $~~~$\leftarrow &
134     h \, \left(\mathbf{v}_j - \langle \omega_h
135     \rangle \times r_j\right) & + & \mathbf{b}_h \times r_j
136     \end{array}
137     \end{displaymath}
138    
139     \begin{eqnarray}
140     \mathbf{b}_c & = & - \mathbf{j}_r(\mathbf{L}) \; \Delta \, t \; I_c^{-1} + \langle \omega_c \rangle \label{eq:bc}\\
141     \mathbf{b}_h & = & + \mathbf{j}_r(\mathbf{L}) \; \Delta \, t \; I_h^{-1} + \langle \omega_h \rangle \label{eq:bh}
142     \end{eqnarray}
143    
144     The total energy is constrained via two quadratic formulae,
145    
146     \begin{eqnarray}
147     K_c - J_r \; \Delta \, t & = & c^2 \, (K_c - \frac{1}{2}\langle \omega_c \rangle \cdot I_c\langle \omega_c \rangle) + \frac{1}{2} \mathbf{b}_c \cdot I_c \, \mathbf{b}_c \label{eq:Kc}\\
148     K_h + J_r \; \Delta \, t & = & h^2 \, (K_h - \frac{1}{2}\langle \omega_h \rangle \cdot I_h\langle \omega_h \rangle) + \frac{1}{2} \mathbf{b}_h \cdot I_h \, \mathbf{b}_h \label{eq:Kh}
149     \end{eqnarray}
150    
151     the simultaneous
152     solution of which provide the velocity scaling coefficients $c$ and $h$. Given an
153     imposed angular momentum flux, $\mathbf{j}_{r} \left( \mathbf{L} \right)$, and/or
154     thermal flux, $J_r$, equations \ref{eq:bc} - \ref{eq:Kh} are sufficient to obtain
155     the velocity scaling ($c$ and $h$) and shearing ($\mathbf{b}_c,\,$ and $\mathbf{b}_h$) at each time interval.

165     \subsection{Thermal conductivities}
166    
167 kstocke1 3932 Calculated values for the thermal conductivity of a 40 \AA$~$ radius gold nanoparticle (15707 atoms) at different kinetic energy flux values are shown in Table \ref{table:goldconductivity}. For these calculations, the hot and cold slabs were excluded from the linear regression of the thermal gradient. The measured linear slope $\langle dT / dr \rangle$ is linearly dependent on the applied kinetic energy flux $J_r$. Calculated thermal conductivity values compare well with previous bulk QSC values of 1.08 - 1.26 W m$^{-1}$ K$^{-1}$ [cite NIVS paper], though still significantly lower than the experimental value of 320 W m$^{-1}$ K$^{-1}$, as the QSC force field neglects significant electronic contributions to heat conduction. The small increase relative to previous simulated bulk values is due to a slight increase in gold density -- as expected, an increase in density results in higher thermal conductivity values. The increased density is a result of nanoparticle curvature relative to an infinite bulk slab, which introduces surface tension that increases ambient density.

205    
206 kstocke1 3940 The interfacial thermal conductance, $G$, is calculated by defining a temperature difference $\Delta T$ across a given interface.

209     % INTERFACIAL FRICTION
210     %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
211     \subsection{Interfacial friction}
212    
213 kstocke1 3940 The interfacial friction coefficient, $\kappa$, can be calculated from the solvent dynamic viscosity, $\eta$, and the slip length, $\delta$. The slip length is measured from a radial angular momentum profile generated from a nonperiodic VSS-RNEMD simulation, as shown in Figure X.
214 kstocke1 3927
215 kstocke1 3940 Table \ref{table:interfacialfriction} shows the calculated interfacial friction coefficients $\kappa$ for a spherical gold nanoparticle and prolate ellipsoidal gold nanorod in TraPPE-UA hexane. An angular momentum flux was applied between the A and B regions defined as the gold structure and hexane molecules included in the convex hull, respectively. The resulting angular velocity gradient resulted in the gold structure rotating about the prescribed axis within the solvent.
216    
217 kstocke1 3932 Analytical solutions for the rotational friction coefficients for a solvated spherical body of radius $r$ under ``stick'' boundary conditions can be estimated using Stokes' law
218    
219     \begin{equation}
220 kstocke1 3934 \Xi = 8 \pi \eta r^3 \label{eq:Xi}.
221 kstocke1 3932 \end{equation}
222    
223 kstocke1 3940 where $\eta$ is the dynamic viscosity of the surrounding solvent and was determined for TraPPE-UA hexane under these condition by applying a traditional VSS-RNEMD linear momentum flux to a periodic box of solvent.
224 kstocke1 3932
225 kstocke1 3934 For general ellipsoids with semiaxes $a$, $b$, and $c$, Perrin's extension of Stokes' law provides exact solutions for symmetric prolate $(a \geq b = c)$ and oblate $(a < b = c)$ ellipsoids. For simplicity, we define a Perrin Factor, $S$,
226    
227     \begin{equation}
228     S = \frac{2}{\sqrt{a^2 - b^2}} ln \left[ \frac{a + \sqrt{a^2 - b^2}}{b} \right]. \label{eq:S}
229     \end{equation}
230    
231     For a prolate ellipsoidal rod, demonstrated here, the rotational resistance tensor $\Xi$ is a $3 \times 3$ diagonal matrix with elements
232    
233 kstocke1 3932 \begin{eqnarray}
234 kstocke1 3940 \Xi^{rr}_a = \frac{32 \pi}{2} \eta \frac{ \left( a^2 - b^2 \right) b^2}{2a - b^2 S} \label{eq:Xia}\\
235     \Xi^{rr}_{b,c} = \frac{32 \pi}{2} \eta \frac{ \left( a^4 - b^4 \right)}{ \left( 2a^2 - b^2 \right)S - 2a}. \label{eq:Xibc}
236 kstocke1 3932 \end{eqnarray}
237    
238 kstocke1 3940 However, the friction between hexane solvent and gold more likely falls within ``slip'' boundary conditions. Hu and Zwanzig investigated the rotational friction coefficients for spheroids under slip boundary conditions and obtained numerial results for a scaling factor as a function of $\tau$, the ratio of the shorter semiaxes and the longer semiaxis of the spheroid. For the sphere and prolate ellipsoid shown here, the values of $\tau$ are $1$ and $0.3939$, respectively. According to the values tabulated by Hu and Zwanzig, the sphere friction coefficient approaches $0$, while the ellipsoidal friction coefficient must be scaled by a factor of $0.880$ to account for the reduced interfacial friction under ``slip'' boundary conditions.
239 kstocke1 3932
240 kstocke1 3934 Another useful quantity is the friction factor $f$, or the friction coefficient of a non-spherical shape divided by the friction coefficient of a sphere of equivalent volume. The nanoparticle and ellipsoidal nanorod dimensions used here were specifically chosen to create structures with equal volumes.
