hs_alkane

Fortran2003 code (with C bindings) implementing hard-sphere alkane models as described in the following papers from the Monson group at the University of Massachusetts.

This code was created for the work reported in Bridgwater & Quigley, "Lattice-switching Monte Carlo method for crystals of flexible molecules", Phys. Rev. E 90, 063313 (2014). These are fun models to play with so others users may find the code useful/interesting. No guarantee of fitness for any particular purpose is implied by that statement.

Monte Carlo moves

Routines which implement the following Monte Carlo trial moves are included.

  • Translation of a randomly selected entire alkane chain - alkane_translate_chain
  • Rigid rotation of a randomly selected chain about the position of the first bead - alkane_rotate_chain
  • Rotation around a randomly selected torsion angle along the chain - alkane_bond_rotate
  • Configurational bias Monte Carlo moves (regrowth of the chain from a randomly selected bead) - alkane_grow_chain
  • Parrinello-Rahman type changes to the lattice vectors defining the simulation cell - alkane_box_resize

Visualisation

The chain topology and snapshots of bead positions are written to chain.psf and chain.dcd respectively, suitable for visualisation in VMD. The routines for this in vis_module.f90 might be useful for others who are stuggling to read/write to these formats in their own code as much as I did!
