We report the results of a series of molecular dynamics simulations on a number of zinc zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) structures together with some lattice dynamics calculations on ZIF-4, providing information about the flexibilities of these structures.

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.

Vibrational spectra are calculated and analyzed for nanostructures (including thin films, nanowires, and quantum dots) of yttria, an important laser host material. Lattice dynamics results show that vibrational spectra of nanocrystals are distinct from that of the bulk crystal, in the extended tails at low and high frequencies. This broadening of vibrational spectra is found to be resulted from the broadening of atomic spring constants at both surface and interior, especially at the surface. Molecular dynamics simulations are employed to further decompose the contributions of the surface and internal atoms, respectively. The results show explicitly that the surface spectra have evident tails and the interior spectra have moderate tails, confirming the results of lattice dynamics calculations.
