Slow-growth approach: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 13:54, 16 October 2024

The free-energy profile along a geometric parameter $\xi$ can be scanned by an approximate slow-growth approach^[1]. In this method, the value of $\xi$ is linearly changed from the value characteristic for the initial state (1) to that for the final state (2) with a velocity of transformation $\dot{\xi}$ . The resulting work needed to perform a transformation $1 \rightarrow 2$ can be computed as:

{\displaystyle w^{irrev}_{1 \rightarrow 2}=\int_{{\xi(1)}}^{{\xi(2)}} \left ( \frac{\partial {V(q)}} {\partial \xi} \right ) \cdot \dot{\xi}\, dt. }

In the limit of infinitesimally small $\dot{\xi}$ , the work $w^{irrev}_{1 \rightarrow 2}$ corresponds to the free-energy difference between the the final and initial state. In the general case, $w^{irrev}_{1 \rightarrow 2}$ is the irreversible work related to the free energy via Jarzynski's identity^[2]:

{\displaystyle exp^{-\frac{\Delta A_{1 \rightarrow 2}}{k_B\,T}}= \bigg \langle exp^{-\frac{w^{irrev}_{1 \rightarrow 2}}{k_B\,T}} \bigg\rangle. }

Note that calculation of the free-energy via this equation requires averaging of the term ${\rm exp} \left \{-\frac{w^{irrev}_{1 \rightarrow 2}}{k_B\,T} \right \}$ over many realizations of the $1 \rightarrow 2$ transformation. Detailed description of the simulation protocol that employs Jarzynski's identity can be found in reference ^[3].

-* For a constrained molecular dynamics run with Andersen thermostat, one has to:
-#Set the standard MD-related tags: {{TAG|IBRION}}=0, {{TAG|TEBEG}}, {{TAG|POTIM}}, and {{TAG|NSW}}
-#Set {{TAG|MDALGO}}=1, and choose an appropriate setting for {{TAG|ANDERSEN_PROB}}
-#Define geometric constraints in the {{FILE|ICONST}}-file, and set the {{TAG|STATUS}} parameter for the constrained coordinates to 0
-#When the free-energy gradient is to be computed, set {{TAG|LBLUEOUT}}=.TRUE.
-For a slow-growth simulation, one has to additionally:
-<ol start="5">
-<li>Specify the transformation velocity-related {{TAG|INCREM}}-tag for each geometric parameter with <tt>STATUS=0</tt></li>
-</ol>
-VASP can handle multiple (even redundant) constraints. Note, however, that a too large number of constraints can cause problems with the stability of the [[#SHAKE|SHAKE algorithm]]. In problematic cases, it is recommended to use a looser convergence criterion (see {{TAG|SHAKETOL}}) and to allow a larger number of iterations (see {{TAG|SHAKEMAXITER}}) in the [[#SHAKE|SHAKE algorithm]]. Hard constraints may also be used in [[#Metadynamics|metadynamics simulations]] (see {{TAG|MDALGO}}=11 {{!}} 21). Information about the constraints is written onto the {{FILE|REPORT}}-file: check the lines following the string: <tt>Const_coord</tt>
