Title: A Rotational/Roto-translational Constraint Method for Condensed Matter
(Submitted on 23 Apr 2024)
Abstract: In condensed matter physics, particularly in perovskite materials, the rotational motion of molecules and ions is associated with important issues such as ion conduction mechanism. Constrained Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations offer a means to separate translational, vibrational, and rotational motions, enabling the independent study of their effects. In this study, we introduce a rotational and roto-translational constraint algorithm based on the Velocity Verlet integrator, which has been implemented into a homebrew version of the CP2K package. The MD results show that our program can selectively constrain the molecules and ions in the system and support long-time MD runs. The algorithm can help the future study of important rotation related dynamic problems in condensed matter systems.
