41 \section{\label{Sec:pbc}Periodic Boundary Conditions}
42
43 \textit{Periodic boundary conditions} are widely used to simulate truly
44 macroscopic systems with a relatively small number of particles. The
45 simulation box is replicated throughout space to form an infinite lattice.
46 During the simulation, when a particle moves in the primary cell, its image in
47 other boxes move in exactly the same direction with exactly the same
48 orientation.Thus, as a particle leaves the primary cell, one of its images
49 will enter through the opposite face.If the simulation box is large enough to
50 avoid "feeling" the symmetries of the periodic lattice, surface effects can be
51 ignored. Cubic, orthorhombic and parallelepiped are the available periodic
52 cells In OOPSE. We use a matrix to describe the property of the simulation
53 box. Therefore, both the size and shape of the simulation box can be changed
54 during the simulation. The transformation from box space vector $\mathbf{s}$
55 to its corresponding real space vector $\mathbf{r}$ is defined by
56 \begin{equation}
57 \mathbf{r}=\underline{\underline{H}}\cdot\mathbf{s}%
58 \end{equation}
59
60
61 where $H=(h_{x},h_{y},h_{z})$ is a transformation matrix made up of the three
62 box axis vectors. $h_{x},h_{y}$ and $h_{z}$ represent the three sides of the
63 simulation box respectively.
64
65 To find the minimum image, we convert the real vector to its corresponding
66 vector in box space first, \bigskip%
67 \begin{equation}
68 \mathbf{s}=\underline{\underline{H}}^{-1}\cdot\mathbf{r}%
69 \end{equation}
70 And then, each element of $\mathbf{s}$ is wrapped to lie between -0.5 to 0.5,
71 \begin{equation}
72 s_{i}^{\prime}=s_{i}-round(s_{i})
73 \end{equation}
74 where
75
76 %
77
78 \begin{equation}
79 round(x)=\left\{
80 \begin{array}
81 [c]{c}%
82 \lfloor{x+0.5}\rfloor & \text{if \ }x\geqslant0\\
83 \lceil{x-0.5}\rceil & \text{otherwise}%
84 \end{array}
85 \right.
86 \end{equation}
87
88
89 For example, $round(3.6)=4$,$round(3.1)=3$, $round(-3.6)=-4$, $round(-3.1)=-3$.
90
91 Finally, we obtain the minimum image coordinates by transforming back to real space,%
92
93 \begin{equation}
94 \mathbf{r}^{\prime}=\underline{\underline{H}}^{-1}\cdot\mathbf{s}^{\prime}%
95 \end{equation}
