Good Agreement

We studied the atomic-level structure of a model Mg-MgH2 interface by means of the Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics method (CPMD). The interface was characterized in terms of total energy calculations, and an estimate of the work of adhesion was given, in good agreement with experimental results on similar systems. Furthermore, the interface was studied in a range of temperatures of interest for the desorption of hydrogen. We determined the diffusivity of atomic hydrogen as a function of the temperature, and give an estimate of the desorption temperature.

Successful stabilization and preservation of biological materials often utilize low temperatures and dehydration to arrest molecular motion. Cryoprotectants are routinely employed to help the biological entities survive the physicochemical and mechanical stresses induced by cold or dryness. Molecular interactions between biomolecules, cryoprotectants, and water fundamentally determine the outcomes of preservation. The optimization of assays using the empirical approach is often limited in structural and temporal resolution, whereas classical molecular dynamics simulations can provide a cost-effective glimpse into the atomic-level structure and interaction of individual molecules that dictate macroscopic behavior. Computational research on biomolecules, cryoprotectants, and water has provided invaluable insights into the development of new cryoprotectants and the optimization of preservation methods. We describe the rapidly evolving state of the art of molecular simulations of these complex systems, summarize the molecular-scale protective and stabilizing mechanisms, and discuss the challenges that motivate continued innovation in this field.

AbstractTo understand antiwear phenomena in motor engines at the atomic level and provide evidence inselecting future ashless wear inhibitors, we studied the thermal stability of the self-assembled monolayer(SAM) model for dithiophosphate (DTP) and dithiocarbamate (DTC) molecules on the iron oxidesurface using molecular dynamics. The interactions for DTP, DTC and Fe2O3 are evaluated based on aforce field derived from fitting to ab initio quantum chemical calculations of dimethyl DTP (and DTC)and Fe(OH)2(H2O)2-DTP (DTC) clusters. MD simulations at constant-NPT are conducted to assesrelative thermal stabilities of the DTP and DTC with different pendant groups (n-propyl, i-propyl, npentyl.and i-pentyl). To investigate frictional process, we employ a steady state MD method, in whichone of the Fe2O3 slabs maintained at a constant linear velocity. We obtain the time averaged normaland frictional forces from the interatomic forces. Then, we calculated the friction coefficient at theinterface between SAMs of DTP and the confined lubricant, hexadecane, to assess the shear stability ofDTPs with different pendant groups.
