Fast, Accurate Molecular Dynamics Simulations for Surfaces and Membranes

Kawata M., Nagashima U., National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, JP

We have developed new fast method for calculating the accurate Coulomb interactions for quasi-2D systems and implemented in the MD calculations. We present the details of the computational steps to implement the 2D-PME method, focusing [...]

Effects of Surface Properties on the Effective Electrical Gap of Microelectromechanical Devices Operating in Contact

Chan E.K., Dutton R.W., Stanford University, US

The effective electrical gap between two conducting surfaces sandwiching a thin dielectric layer varies with applied voltage and pressure. Improved methods for measuring and modeling this variation are presented. Optical surface profile measurements of fixed-fixed [...]
