摘要: In this paper, three barostat coupling schemes for pressure control, which are commonly used in molecular dynamics simulations, critically compared to characterize the rigid MOF-5 and flexible MIL-53(Al) metal–organic frameworks. We investigate performance of barostats, Berendsen, Martyna–Tuckerman–Tobias–Klein (MTTK), Langevin methods, reproducing cell parameters versus volume behavior isothermal–isobaric simulations. A thermodynamic integration method is construct free energy profiles as a function at finite temperature. It observed that aforementioned static properties well-reproduced with barostats. However, depending nonlinearly on pressure, Berendsen might give deviating results it suppresses fluctuations more drastically. Finally, dynamic properties, directly related cell, such time transiti...
