Integration schemes for rotational motion of the rigid molecules in |
| 18 |
|
microcanonical ensemble have been extensively studied in the last |
| 19 |
< |
two decades. Matubayasi and Nakahara developed a time-reversible |
| 20 |
< |
integrator for rigid bodies in quaternion representation. Although |
| 21 |
< |
it is not symplectic, this integrator still demonstrates a better |
| 22 |
< |
long-time energy conservation than traditional methods because of |
| 23 |
< |
the time-reversible nature. Extending Trotter-Suzuki to general |
| 24 |
< |
system with a flat phase space, Miller and his colleagues devised an |
| 25 |
< |
novel symplectic, time-reversible and volume-preserving integrator |
| 26 |
< |
in quaternion representation, which was shown to be superior to the |
| 27 |
< |
time-reversible integrator of Matubayasi and Nakahara. However, all |

An alternative integration scheme utilizing rotation matrix directly |
| 139 |

average 7\% increase in computation time using the DLM method in |

place of quaternions. This cost is more than justified when |

The Z-Constraint method, which fixes the z coordinates of the |

molecules with respect to the center of the mass of the system, has |

been a method suggested to obtain the forces required for the force |

auto-correlation calculation.\cite{Marrink1994} However, simply |
| 696 |

resetting the coordinate will move the center of the mass of the |
| 697 |
> |
whole system. To avoid this problem, we reset the forces of |
| 698 |

z-constrained molecules as well as subtract the total constraint |
| 699 |

forces from the rest of the system after the force calculation at |

z-constrained molecule $\alpha$. The forces of the z constrained |

F_{\alpha i} = F_{\alpha i} - |

Here, $m_{\alpha i}$ is the mass of atom $i$ in the z-constrained |

Lastly, all of the accumulated z constrained forces must be |
