Abstract
- The new symplectic molecular dynamics (MD) integrators presented in the first paper of this series were applied to perform MD simulations of water. The physical properties of a system of flexible TIP3P water molecules computed by the new integrators, such as diffusion coefficients, orientation correlation times, and infrared (IR) spectra, are in good agreement with results obtained by the standard method. The comparison between the new integrators’ and the standard method’s integration time step sizes indicates that the resulting algorithm allows a 3.0 fs long integration time step as opposed to the standard leap-frog Verlet method, a sixfold simulation speed-up. The accuracy of the method was confirmed, in particular, by computing the IR spectrum of water in which no blueshifting of the stretching normal mode frequencies is observed as occurs with the standard method.
