We present results for transport properties of diatomic fluids by isothermal-isobaric (NpT) equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulations using Green-Kubo and Einstein formulas. As the molecular elongation of diatomic molecules increases from the spherical monatomic molecule, the diffusion coefficient increases, indicating that longish shape molecules diffuse more than spherical molecules, and the rotational diffusion coefficients are almost the same in the statistical error since random rotation decreases. The calculated translational viscosity decreases with the molecular elongation of diatomic molecule within statistical error bar, while the rotational viscosity increases. The total thermal conductivity decreases as the molecular elongation increases. This result of thermal conductivity for diatomic molecules by EMD simulations is again inconsistent with the earlier results of those by non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations even though the missing terms related to rotational degree of freedom into the Green-Kubo and Einstein formulas with regard to the calculation of thermal conductivity for molecular fluids are included.

Ovomucoid third domain is a serine proteinase inhibitor protein which consists of 56 amino acid residues. A fifty picosecond molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was carried out for ovomucoid third domain protein with 5 $\AA$ layer of water molecules. A comparison of main chain atoms in the MD averaged structure with the crystal structure showed that most of the backbone structures are maintained during the simulation. Investigation of the intramolecular hydrogen bondings indicated that most of the interactions between main chain atoms were conserved, whereas those between side chains were reorganized for the period of the simulation. Especially, the side chain interactions around the scissile bond of reactive site P1 (Met18) were found to be more extensive for the MD structures. During the simulation, hydrogen bonds were maintained between the side chains of Glu19 and Arg21 as well as those of Thr17 and Glu19. Extensive side chain interactions observed in the MD structures may shed light on the question of why protein proteinase inhibitors are strong inhibitors for proteinases rather than good substrates.

This paper shows the results of classical molecular dynamics modeling for the interaction between spherical nano abrasive and substrate in chemical mechanical polishing processes. Atomistic modeling was achieved from 3-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations using the Morse potential functions for chemical mechanical polishing. The abrasive dynamics was modeled by three cases, such as slipping, rolling, and rotating. Simulation results showed that the different dynamics of the abrasive results the different features of surfaces. The simulation concerning polishing pad, abrasive particles and the substrate has same results.

We performed molecular dynamics simulations on the conventional MOF, IRMOF-14 and the catenated MOF with two MOF chains, IRMOF13, to find out rational design and synthetic strategies toward efficient hydrogen storage materials. The molecular dynamics calculations were done using Universal force fields and the analysis of result was performed during the NVE dynamics after preliminary NVT dynamics at 77K. The results showed the density of adsorbed hydrogen molecules was increased in the various pores created by catenation of MOFs while the large amount of volume in conventional MOF was not effectively utilized to store hydrogen. Those calculation results commonly showed the proper control of pore si Be for hydrogen storage into MOF by catenation would be one of the efficient ways to increase hydrogen capacity of MOFs.

Phase transition of the Lennard-Jonesian binary system with a free surface was studied by employing molecular dynamics simulation. The main focus of this study was to investigate the effect of size misfit and solute concentration on phase transition during heating and quenching. For a binary system with a free surface, the melting point and the critical quenching rate decrease as size misfit and solute concentration increase.

Simulations of the buckling behavior of a single wall carbon nanotube(SWCNT) was carried out using molecular dynamics simulation. Molecular dynamics simulations were done with 1fs of time step. Tersoff's potential function was used as the interatomic potential function since it has been proved to be reliable to describe the C-C bonds in carbon nanotubes. Compressive force was applied by moving the top end of the nanotube at a constant velocity. Buckling behavior under compressive load was observed for (15,15) armchair SWCNTs with 2nm of diameter and 24.9nm of length. Buckling load and critical strain is obtained from the MD simulation. Deformation occurred on the top region of the CNT because of fast downward velocity.

This work applies the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation method to study a Lennard-Jones liquid thin film suspended in the vapor and calculates the thermal conductivity by linear response function. As a preliminary test, the thermal conductivity of pure argon fluid are calculated by nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that the thermal conductivity decrease with decreasing the density. When both argon liquid and vapor phase are present, the effects of the system temperature on the thermal conductivity are investigated. It can be seen that the thermal conductivity of liquid-vapor interface is constant with increasing the temperature

A study of argon droplet vaporization is conducted using molecular dynamics. Instead of using traditional method such as the Navier-Stokes equation. Molecular dynamics uses Lagrangian frame to describe molecular behavior in a system and uses only momentum and position data of all molecules in the system. So every property is not a hypothetical input but a statistical result calculated from the momentum and position data. This work performed a simulation of the first-order stability for phase transition of a three dementional submicron argon droplet within quiescent environment. Lennard-Jones 12-6 potential function is used as a intermolecular potential function. The molecular configuration is examined while an initially non-sperical droplet is changed into the spherical shape and droplet evaporates or condensates.

A study of argon droplet vaporization is conducted using molecular dynamics, instead of using traditional methods such as the Navier-Stokes equation. Molecular dynamics uses Lagrangian frame to describe molecular behavior in a system and uses only momentum and position data of all molecules in the system. So every property is not a hypothetical input but a statistical result calculated from the momentum and position data. This work performed a simulation of the complete vaporization of a three dimensional submicron argon droplet within quiescent environment. Lennard-Jones 12-6 potential function is used as a intermolecular potential function. The molecular configuration is examined while an initially non-spherical droplet is changed into the spherical shape and droplet evaporates. And the droplet radius versus time is calculated with temperature and pressure profile.
