Natural Frequencies for all elements in the Periodic table.

Submitted by Ashfaq Adnan on

Hi, 

I am interested to know the natural frequencies of elements in the periodic table. I made some attempt to reveal this information but surprisingly ended with nothing. Perhaps I  did not search hard. Does anyone know about the natural frequencies of elements in periodic table.

Why larger time step is not allowed in Molecular Dynamics Simulation?

Submitted by Ashfaq Adnan on

Hi, 

I am trying to understand why MD simulation crashes if larger time step (~100 fs) is applied to integrate the equation of motion. I know that there are two major things play role in solving F = ma and obtaining equilibrium solution. One is the accuracy, and the other is numerical stability of the integration algorithm.
