The Two Wells System: A Benchmark for Monte Carlo Methods in Statistical Mechanics

Creator:

Sprueill, Henry

Abstract:

Computational statistical mechanics leans heavily on the class of Markov Chain Monte Carlo Algorithms. Many such algorithms exist, and simulations can run for several weeks, making the selection of algorithms a difficult, but critical task. In this work, we introduce a benchmark system of two quadratic wells with an analytical...

Undergraduate Thesis
Simulating the Dynein Motor Protein: A Monte Carlo Approach to Achieve Coordinated Stepping

Creator:

Kiatvongcharoen, Jin

Abstract:

The motor protein dynein is responsible for cellular processes such as axonal transport and cell division by delivering vital information along the microtubule track. A failed delivery can cause severe damage to the cell’s functionality and lead to neurological diseases. Despite dynein’s rich history in cellular research, the mechanism of...

Practical Mechanically Interlocked Molecules: A Model of Gas Adsorption in Metal OrganicFrameworks Harboring Rotaxane Molecular Shuttles

Creator:

Carney, Jonathan

Abstract:

Metal organic frameworks(MOFs) are a class of crystalline materials utilized in gas storage, chemicalsensing, and other engineering applications. Recently chemists have begun synthesizing MOFs withmoving parts in order to further these applications. A wide array of dynamic MOFs have been created andtheorized. Among them is the interlocking of a ring...

Freezing a Softly Repulsive Fluid : Monte Carlo Methods and the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen Potential

Creator:

May, Christopher

Abstract:

The equation of state for a fluid described by the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen (WCA) potential was solved to determine at what pressures and temperatures the fluid will theoretically freeze. A Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm was used to sample a system of 256 spheres for a set of thermodynamic averages to locate and...

Undergraduate Thesis
Theory of Inhomogeneous Fluids

Creator:

Krebs, Eric J.

Abstract:

This dissertation reports on the computational physics research in the area of inhomogeneous fluids. I first discuss the theory background for this work beginning with water, which is important for the two published articles that are presented in this work (Chapters 5 and 6). Next, I give a brief overview...

Dissertation
Hard spheres within classical density functional theory and Min proteins in Escherichia coli

Creator:

Schulte, Jeff B.

Abstract:

This thesis reports on computational research in two different areas. I first discuss the Min-protein system found within Escherichia coli. Following this I discuss an extended investigation into improving free energy functionals that are used within Classical Density Functional Theory in order to model water. Chapter 2 examines the dynamics...

An Ising-like model to predict dielectric properties of the relaxor ferroelectric solid solution BaTiO3 - Bi(Zn1/2Ti1/2)O3, An Ising-like model to predict dielectric properties of the relaxor ferroelectric solid solution BaTiO₃ − Bi(Zn₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃

Creator:

Jackson, Dennis L.

Abstract:

We developed a model to investigate the dielectric properties of the BaTiO₃ − Bi(Zn₁/₂Ti₁/₂)O₃ (BT-BZT) solid solution, which is a relaxor ferroelectric and exhibits long range disorder. The model uses ab initio methods to determine all polarization states for every atomic configuration of 2 x 2 x 2 supercells of...
