Molecular dynamics simulation of polymer liquid and glass. I. Glass transition
Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulation of bulk liquid and glass of long-chain molecules has been performed. The system consists of linear chains of up to 50 spherical segments, each subject to forces due to bond stretching, bending, and torsion, and to nonbonded interaction, according to a truncated Lennard-Jones potential, between segments in neighboring chains and between segments separated by more than three bonds along the chain. The parameters are chosen to mimic polymethylene, the segment representing a CH2 unit. Behaviors suggestive of liquid-to-glass transition were exhibited by (i) cessation of trans–gauche conformational transitions, (ii) changes in the temperature coefficients of the density and internal energy, and (iii) effective vanishing of the segmental self-diffusion coefficient. The ‘‘freezing in’’ of these properties occurs at decreasing temperatures in the order given above, indicating the decreasing size of domains of cooperative motion required. The dependence of the transition temperature on the chain length and on the flexibility of the chain (effected by switching of the torsional potential off) obtained is in accord with experimental observations. Below the transition temperature the system behavior depends on the path through which the state was reached, suggesting that simulation of relaxation effects could be achieved in longer runs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
