X Abstract

A classical application of the Car-Parrinello method in the computer simulation of ionic systems is demonstrated. The induction effects in the interionic interactions are included in addition to the short-range repulsion and dispersion effects described by effective pair potentials. By representing the induced dipoles as a pair of dynamically variable charges fixed on the ends of a rod and extending the Lagrangian accordingly, the self-consistent induced dipoles at each time step are generated from the values at the previous time step, without the need for explicit minimization. Coulomb-field-induced and overlap-induced polarization effects are included and these are parameterized by ab initio electronic structure calculations. For simple ionic systems it is shown that the neglect of the overlap-induced dipoles leads to a poor representation of real systems.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
