+ | <note important> | ||
+ | - Edit the input file to run 50 picoseconds, | ||
+ | - **REPLACE _NSTEPS_ WITH THE NUMBER OF STEPS AND _TEMP_ WITH THE DESIRED TEMPERATURE IN THE md_temp.inp FILE** | ||
+ | - The length of the simulation is small to get converged averages, but the run will thus last a few minutes per distance making the exercise feasible on 16 cores. | ||
+ | - Now run the chain of simulations | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | - Directories R_< | ||
+ | - You can enter a certain directory (e.g., R_12.5), check the **log.lammps** for the evolution of a trajectory, and visualize the trajectory with: **vmd mol_sub.xyz trajectory.dcd** | ||
+ | - At the end of everything, you can perform averages and integrals by understanding (and using) the script ** get_pot_mean_force ** FROM WITHIN THE DIRECTORY T_300: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | ./ | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | - THIS PRODUCES THE POTENTIAL OF MEAN FORCE pot_mean_force for that temperature | ||
+ | - Repeat the same for other temperatures (e.g.) 10 K and 800 K. | ||
+ | - Potentials can be visualized by adapting the **gnuplot** script in the exercise_12 directory: pot_mean_force.gnu. Edit and adapt, then: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | gnuplot> load " | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | <note important> | ||
+ | Check the already finished runs in REF_300: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | cd REF_300 | ||
+ | cp ../ | ||
+ | ./ | ||
+ | gnuplot | ||
+ | gnuplot > plot " | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | <note warning> | ||
+ | - Report adsorption (free) energy and equilibrium distance for the three temperatures. What do you note? | ||
+ | - Compare the results with the paper | ||
+ | - Compare your results with results extracted from REF_10, REF_300, REF_800 that contain longer equilibrations and averaging (about 0.5-1 ns each distance). Where do you get more differences? | ||
+ | - Can you say something about the entropy contributions? | ||
