ESPResSo++: A Fast and Extensible Molecular Simulation Package for Coarse-Grained Models

Zhen-Hao Xu, James Vance, Nikita Tretyakov +9

ESPResSo++ is an open-source software package for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with a particular emphasis on coarse-grained (CG) models of soft matter systems. Written in C+…

Structure and dynamics of ionic liquids under shear flow

Abbas Gholami, Sebastian Kloth, Zhen-Hao Xu +4

We investigate the intrinsic behavior of ionic liquids under shear flow, using a coarse-grained model of C4mim-PF6 as a prototypical example. The importance of long-ranged electros…

Implementation and Parallel Optimization of the Lees-Edwards Boundary Condition in ESPResSo++

Zhen-Hao Xu, James Vance, Nikita Tretyakov +2

The Lees-Edwards boundary condition (LEbc) was first developed by Lees and Edwards in 1970s. The current implementation of LEbc in the ESPResSo++ MD software package provides a new…

Hierarchical modeling of polystyrene melts: From soft blobs to atomistic resolution

Guojie Zhang, Anthony Chazirakis, Vagelis A. Harmandaris +3

We demonstrate that hierarchical backmapping strategies incorporating generic blob-based models can equilibrate melts of high-molecular-weight polymers, described with chemically s…
