随着超级计算机软硬件的飞速提升,基于经验势函数的分子动力学模拟在解析固体塑性的微观机制方面发挥着关键作用。但是,由于传统分子动力学基于牛顿运动方程数值积分,积分时间步长通常为飞秒量级,其模拟的时间尺度通常限于纳秒量级,从而为模拟长时间尺度固体塑性机制带来了巨大的挑战。本文从分子动力学模拟的时间尺度限制切入,介绍目前国际流行的几种实验室时间尺度原子模拟技术,并以晶体位错塑性与非晶态物质扩散和剪切转变塑性为例,阐述实验室时间尺度和原子精度计算机模拟的思想与实施步骤。最后,展望了目前加速分子动力学方法普遍存在的问题,并提出可能的解决方案。 |

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on an empirical force field has played a critical role in analysis of the microscopic plastic mechanisms of versatile solids,in light of the great advances in both software and hardware of supercomputers.However,a classical MD is conducted by taking time integration of the Newtonian equation of motion with a very tiny timestep of the order of femtosecond.Therefore,a typical MD simulation of million steps can only explore a timescale window of nanosecond,which brings about a great challenge in long timescale simulations,e. g.,of plastic deformation of solids.This paper will start with a brief introduction of the timescale issue in MD.Then,several state-of-the-art accelerated MD techniques are introduced which are capable of performing atomistic simulations up to experimentally relevant timescales.Several examples including dislocation plasticity in crystalline metals,as well as diffusion and shear transformation in amorphous materials will be computed in detail to demonstrate the basic ideas and procedures of atomic-scale simulations at experimental timescale.Finally,common shortcomings of modern accelerated molecular dynamics techniques,and possible solutions for a final goal of MD simulations spanning the whole timescale domain of plasticity in solid are discussed. |
