Molecular simulation methods for soft matter
MODELING AND SIMULATION OF NEW MATERIALS, 1091:1-43, 2009
Molecular simulation methods that are relevant to the study of soft condensed matter are reviewed. A short discussion of molecular interaction potentials is followed by an discussion of molecular dynamics algorithms, stochastic dynamics, and thermostatting methods. The standard Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm is described, and a short introduction given to weighted and biased sampling methods. Throughout, examples are chosen from the field of soft condensed matter, including colloidal systems, liquid crystals, and biopolymers.
