Understanding Molecular Dynamics with Stochastic Processes via Real or Virtual Dynamics

Molecular dynamics with the stochastic process provides a convenient way to compute structural and thermodynamic properties of chemical, biological, and materials systems. It is demonstrated that the virtual dynamics case that we proposed for the Langevin equation[J. Chem. Phys. 147 , 184104 (2017)] in principle exists in other types of stochastic thermostats as well. The recommended "middle" scheme[J. Chem. Phys. 147 , 034109 (2017)] of the Andersen thermostat is investigated as an example. As shown by both analytic and numerical results, while the real and virtual dynamics cases approach the same plateau of the characteristic correlation time in the high collision frequency limit, the accuracy and efficiency of sampling are relatively insensitive to the value of the collision frequency in a broad range. After we compare the behaviors of the Andersen thermostat to those of Langevin dynamics, a heuristic schematic representation is proposed for understanding efficient stochastic thermostatting processes with molecular dynamics.     

Theoretical assessment of structural,mechanical, and thermodynamic properties of Pd2Al

The physical properties, namely structural, mechanical, and thermodynamic properties, of Pd₂Al intermetallic compound were explored through first-principles calculations within the framework of density functional theory. The calculated lattice constants were consistent with the available experimental data. The calculated elastic constants revealed that Pd₂Al was mechanically stable. By the predicted elastic constants, several related properties, namely Cauchy pressures, shear anisotropy factors, directional Young's modulus, bulk, shear and Young's moduli, the ratio of K/G, Vickers hardness, sound velocity, and minimum thermal conductivity for Pd₂Al were evaluated. According to the calculated results, it was found that Pd₂Al possesses a highly anisotropic feature and behaves in a ductile manner with low stiffness. Finally, temperature-dependence of thermodynamic properties, namely Debye temperature and heat capacity, were also evaluated through the quasi-harmonic Debye model.     

Semiparametric Bayesian inference for mean-covariance regression models

In this paper, we propose a Bayesian semiparametric mean-covariance regression model with known covariance structures. A mixture model is used to describe the potential non-normal distribution of the regression errors. Moreover, an empirical likelihood adjusted mixture of Dirichlet process model is constructed to produce distributions with given mean and variance constraints. We illustrate through simulation studies that the proposed method provides better estimations in some non-normal cases. We also demonstrate the implementation of our method by analyzing the data set from a sleep deprivation study.
