915 + It is quite possible that some of molecules in the system from
916 + preliminary preparation may be overlapping with each other. This
917 + close proximity leads to high initial potential energy which
918 + consequently jeopardizes any molecular dynamics simulations. To
919 + remove these steric overlaps, one typically performs energy
920 + minimization to find a more reasonable conformation. Several energy
921 + minimization methods have been developed to exploit the energy
922 + surface and to locate the local minimum. While converging slowly
923 + near the minimum, steepest descent method is extremely robust when
924 + systems are strongly anharmonic. Thus, it is often used to refine
925 + structure from crystallographic data. Relied on the gradient or
926 + hessian, advanced methods like Newton-Raphson converge rapidly to a
927 + local minimum, but become unstable if the energy surface is far from
928 + quadratic. Another factor that must be taken into account, when
929 + choosing energy minimization method, is the size of the system.
930 + Steepest descent and conjugate gradient can deal with models of any
931 + size. Because of the limits on computer memory to store the hessian
932 + matrix and the computing power needed to diagonalized these
933 + matrices, most Newton-Raphson methods can not be used with very
934 + large systems.
935 +
936 + \subsubsection{\textbf{Heating}}
937 +
938 + Typically, Heating is performed by assigning random velocities
939 + according to a Maxwell-Boltzman distribution for a desired
940 + temperature. Beginning at a lower temperature and gradually
941 + increasing the temperature by assigning larger random velocities, we
942 + end up with setting the temperature of the system to a final
943 + temperature at which the simulation will be conducted. In heating
944 + phase, we should also keep the system from drifting or rotating as a
945 + whole. To do this, the net linear momentum and angular momentum of
946 + the system is shifted to zero after each resampling from the Maxwell
947 + -Boltzman distribution.
948 +
949 + \subsubsection{\textbf{Equilibration}}
950 +
951 + The purpose of equilibration is to allow the system to evolve
952 + spontaneously for a period of time and reach equilibrium. The
953 + procedure is continued until various statistical properties, such as
954 + temperature, pressure, energy, volume and other structural
955 + properties \textit{etc}, become independent of time. Strictly
956 + speaking, minimization and heating are not necessary, provided the
957 + equilibration process is long enough. However, these steps can serve
958 + as a means to arrive at an equilibrated structure in an effective
959 + way.
960 +
961 + \subsection{\label{introSection:production}Production}
962 +
963 + The production run is the most important step of the simulation, in
964 + which the equilibrated structure is used as a starting point and the
965 + motions of the molecules are collected for later analysis. In order
966 + to capture the macroscopic properties of the system, the molecular
967 + dynamics simulation must be performed by sampling correctly and
968 + efficiently from the relevant thermodynamic ensemble.
969 +
970 + The most expensive part of a molecular dynamics simulation is the
971 + calculation of non-bonded forces, such as van der Waals force and
972 + Coulombic forces \textit{etc}. For a system of $N$ particles, the
973 + complexity of the algorithm for pair-wise interactions is $O(N^2 )$,
974 + which making large simulations prohibitive in the absence of any
975 + algorithmic tricks.
976 +
977 + A natural approach to avoid system size issues is to represent the
978 + bulk behavior by a finite number of the particles. However, this
979 + approach will suffer from the surface effect at the edges of the
980 + simulation. To offset this, \textit{Periodic boundary conditions}
981 + (see Fig.~\ref{introFig:pbc}) is developed to simulate bulk
982 + properties with a relatively small number of particles. In this
983 + method, the simulation box is replicated throughout space to form an
984 + infinite lattice. During the simulation, when a particle moves in
985 + the primary cell, its image in other cells move in exactly the same
986 + direction with exactly the same orientation. Thus, as a particle
987 + leaves the primary cell, one of its images will enter through the
988 + opposite face.

996 + \end{figure}
997 +
998 + %cutoff and minimum image convention
999 + Another important technique to improve the efficiency of force
1000 + evaluation is to apply spherical cutoff where particles farther than
1001 + a predetermined distance are not included in the calculation
1002 + \cite{Frenkel1996}. The use of a cutoff radius will cause a
1003 + discontinuity in the potential energy curve. Fortunately, one can
1004 + shift simple radial potential to ensure the potential curve go
1005 + smoothly to zero at the cutoff radius. The cutoff strategy works
1006 + well for Lennard-Jones interaction because of its short range
1007 + nature. However, simply truncating the electrostatic interaction
1008 + with the use of cutoffs has been shown to lead to severe artifacts
1009 + in simulations. The Ewald summation, in which the slowly decaying
1010 + Coulomb potential is transformed into direct and reciprocal sums
1011 + with rapid and absolute convergence, has proved to minimize the
1012 + periodicity artifacts in liquid simulations. Taking the advantages
1013 + of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) for calculating discrete Fourier
1014 + transforms, the particle mesh-based
1015 + methods\cite{Hockney1981,Shimada1993, Luty1994} are accelerated from
1016 + $O(N^{3/2})$ to $O(N logN)$. An alternative approach is the
1017 + \emph{fast multipole method}\cite{Greengard1987, Greengard1994},
1018 + which treats Coulombic interactions exactly at short range, and
1019 + approximate the potential at long range through multipolar
1020 + expansion. In spite of their wide acceptance at the molecular
1021 + simulation community, these two methods are difficult to implement
1022 + correctly and efficiently. Instead, we use a damped and
1023 + charge-neutralized Coulomb potential method developed by Wolf and
1024 + his coworkers\cite{Wolf1999}. The shifted Coulomb potential for
1025 + particle $i$ and particle $j$ at distance $r_{rj}$ is given by:
1026 + \begin{equation}
1027 + V(r_{ij})= \frac{q_i q_j \textrm{erfc}(\alpha
1028 + r_{ij})}{r_{ij}}-\lim_{r_{ij}\rightarrow
1029 + R_\textrm{c}}\left\{\frac{q_iq_j \textrm{erfc}(\alpha
1030 + r_{ij})}{r_{ij}}\right\}. \label{introEquation:shiftedCoulomb}
1031 + \end{equation}
1032 + where $\alpha$ is the convergence parameter. Due to the lack of
1033 + inherent periodicity and rapid convergence,this method is extremely
1034 + efficient and easy to implement.

1045 + \subsection{\label{introSection:Analysis} Analysis}
1046 +
1047 + Recently, advanced visualization technique have become applied to
1048 + monitor the motions of molecules. Although the dynamics of the
1049 + system can be described qualitatively from animation, quantitative
1050 + trajectory analysis are more useful. According to the principles of
1051 + Statistical Mechanics, Sec.~\ref{introSection:statisticalMechanics},
1052 + one can compute thermodynamic properties, analyze fluctuations of
1053 + structural parameters, and investigate time-dependent processes of
1054 + the molecule from the trajectories.
1055 +
1056 + \subsubsection{\label{introSection:thermodynamicsProperties}\textbf{Thermodynamic Properties}}
1057 +
1058 + Thermodynamic properties, which can be expressed in terms of some
1059 + function of the coordinates and momenta of all particles in the
1060 + system, can be directly computed from molecular dynamics. The usual
1061 + way to measure the pressure is based on virial theorem of Clausius
1062 + which states that the virial is equal to $-3Nk_BT$. For a system
1063 + with forces between particles, the total virial, $W$, contains the
1064 + contribution from external pressure and interaction between the
1065 + particles:
1066 + \[
1067 + W =  - 3PV + \left\langle {\sum\limits_{i < j} {r{}_{ij} \cdot
1068 + f_{ij} } } \right\rangle
1069 + \]
1070 + where $f_{ij}$ is the force between particle $i$ and $j$ at a
1071 + distance $r_{ij}$. Thus, the expression for the pressure is given
1072 + by:
1073 + \begin{equation}
1074 + P = \frac{{Nk_B T}}{V} - \frac{1}{{3V}}\left\langle {\sum\limits_{i
1075 + < j} {r{}_{ij} \cdot f_{ij} } } \right\rangle
1076 + \end{equation}
1077 +
1078 + \subsubsection{\label{introSection:structuralProperties}\textbf{Structural Properties}}
1079 +
1080 + Structural Properties of a simple fluid can be described by a set of
1081 + distribution functions. Among these functions,the \emph{pair
1082 + distribution function}, also known as \emph{radial distribution
1083 + function}, is of most fundamental importance to liquid theory.
1084 + Experimentally, pair distribution function can be gathered by
1085 + Fourier transforming raw data from a series of neutron diffraction
1086 + experiments and integrating over the surface factor
1087 + \cite{Powles1973}. The experimental results can serve as a criterion
1088 + to justify the correctness of a liquid model. Moreover, various
1089 + equilibrium thermodynamic and structural properties can also be
1090 + expressed in terms of radial distribution function \cite{Allen1987}.
1091 +
1092 + The pair distribution functions $g(r)$ gives the probability that a
1093 + particle $i$ will be located at a distance $r$ from a another
1094 + particle $j$ in the system
1095 + \[
1096 + g(r) = \frac{V}{{N^2 }}\left\langle {\sum\limits_i {\sum\limits_{j
1097 + \ne i} {\delta (r - r_{ij} )} } } \right\rangle = \frac{\rho
1098 + (r)}{\rho}.
1099 + \]
1100 + Note that the delta function can be replaced by a histogram in
1101 + computer simulation. Peaks in $g(r)$ represent solvent shells, and
1102 + the height of these peaks gradually decreases to 1 as the liquid of
1103 + large distance approaches the bulk density.
1104 +
1105 +
1106 + \subsubsection{\label{introSection:timeDependentProperties}\textbf{Time-dependent
1107 + Properties}}
1108 +
1109 + Time-dependent properties are usually calculated using \emph{time
1110 + correlation functions}, which correlate random variables $A$ and $B$
1111 + at two different times,
1112 + \begin{equation}
1113 + C_{AB} (t) = \left\langle {A(t)B(0)} \right\rangle.
1114 + \label{introEquation:timeCorrelationFunction}
1115 + \end{equation}
1116 + If $A$ and $B$ refer to same variable, this kind of correlation
1117 + function is called an \emph{autocorrelation function}. One example
1118 + of an auto correlation function is the velocity auto-correlation
1119 + function which is directly related to transport properties of
1120 + molecular liquids:
1121 + \[
1122 + D = \frac{1}{3}\int\limits_0^\infty  {\left\langle {v(t) \cdot v(0)}
1123 + \right\rangle } dt
1124 + \]
1125 + where $D$ is diffusion constant. Unlike the velocity autocorrelation
1126 + function, which is averaging over time origins and over all the
1127 + atoms, the dipole autocorrelation functions are calculated for the
1128 + entire system. The dipole autocorrelation function is given by:
1129 + \[
1130 + c_{dipole}  = \left\langle {u_{tot} (t) \cdot u_{tot} (t)}
1131 + \right\rangle
1132 + \]
1133 + Here $u_{tot}$ is the net dipole of the entire system and is given
1134 + by
1135 + \[
1136 + u_{tot} (t) = \sum\limits_i {u_i (t)}
1137 + \]
1138 + In principle, many time correlation functions can be related with
1139 + Fourier transforms of the infrared, Raman, and inelastic neutron
1140 + scattering spectra of molecular liquids. In practice, one can
1141 + extract the IR spectrum from the intensity of dipole fluctuation at
1142 + each frequency using the following relationship:
1143 + \[
1144 + \hat c_{dipole} (v) = \int_{ - \infty }^\infty  {c_{dipole} (t)e^{ -
1145 + i2\pi vt} dt}
1146 + \]
