We perform the first-ever molecular dynamics simulations of superatomic crystals (SACs), from which we precisely link orientational order and thermal conductivity by directly observing the rotational dynamics.

A comparative analysis of intramolecular dynamics of four types of isolated dendrimers from the fourth to the seventh generations belonging to the siloxane and carbosilane families, differing in spacer length, core functionality, and the type of chemical bonds, has been performed via atomic molecular dynamics simulations. The average radial and angular positions of all Si branching atoms of various topological layers within the dendrimer interior, as well as their variations, have been calculated, and the distributions of the relaxation times of their radial and angular motions have been found. It has been shown that the dendrons of all the dendrimers elongate from the center and decrease in a solid angle with an increasing generation number. The characteristic relaxation times of both angular and radial motions of Si atoms are of the order of a few nanoseconds, and they increase with an increasing generation number and decrease with temperature, with the angular relaxation times being larger than the radial ones. The relaxation times in the carbosilanes are larger than those in the siloxanes. The rotational angle dynamics of the carbosilane dendrimers show that the chain bending is mainly realized via trans-gauche transitions in the Si branching bonds.

Using lattice dynamics theory, we derive the spectral energy density and the relation between the spectral energy density and the phonon frequencies and relaxation times. We then calculate the spectral energy density and phonon frequencies and relaxation times for a test system of Lennard-Jones argon using velocities obtained from molecular dynamics simulations. The phonon properties, which can be used to calculate thermal conductivity, are compared to predictions made using (i) anharmonic lattice dynamics calculations and (ii) a technique that performs normal mode analysis on the positions and velocities obtained from molecular dynamics simulations.
