✦ Synopsis

A new molecular dynamics technique is described which addresses the special problems intrinsic to low density simulations, particularly fluids in the gas phase. This technique incorporates aspects of both the conventional hard spheres and continuous potential molecular dynamics algorithms. The difficulties inherent in low density simulations are discussed and the synthesis of existing molecular dynamics techniques into a new, hybrid algorithm is described in detail, including optimization and vectorization modifications. Finally, benchmarks for the new code are reported which show a speedup of up to a factor of 7 over a traditional molecular dynamics program.

Many biological processes are characterized by an essentially quantum dynamical event, such as electron or proton transfer, in a complex classical environment. To treat such processes properly by computer simulation, allowing nonadiabatic transitions involving excited states, we recently developed a

The temperature dependence of atomic and electronic structures in liquid Se 30 Te 70 is studied using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Our work verifies the structural change from low-to highdensity phases observed in experiments. Moreover, we show that the structure of low-density liquid i
