[Computed on Discoverer] Computation and visualization of ensemble averages
The molecular dynamics simulations provide great details at the nanoscale level for relatively big systems (up to several million atoms). Very often the material environment of certain functional groups, selected atoms, clusters of atoms, and other low to high-level structural elements, is numerically evaluated employing radial distribution functions (RDF). That method is powerful, well studied, and largely implemented for analysis. But it cannot provide a visual spatial estimate for the investigated environment. If you have a molecule surrounded by ions,…
