Serving as a new two-dimensional plasmonic material, graphene has stimulated an intensive study of its optical properties which benefit from the unique electronic band structure of the underlying honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms. In…
Ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) is a powerful tool to simulate physical movements of molecules for investigating properties of materials. While AIMD is successful in some applications, circumventing its high computational costs is…
We review a molecular dynamics method for nucleon many-body systems called the quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) and our studies using this method. These studies address the structure and the dynamics of nuclear matter relevant to the…
We investigate the thermodynamic properties and the lattice stability of two-dimensional crystalline membranes, such as graphene and related compounds, in the low temperature quantum regime $T\rightarrow0$. A key role is played by the…
In this work, we have studied the phonon properties of multi-layered graphene with the use of Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations and the k-space Autocorrelation Sequence (k-VACS) method. We calculate the phonon dispersion curves, densities…
We present tight-binding molecular dynamics simulations of the structural modifications that result from the "thermal spike" that occurs during the passage of a heavy fast ion through a thin diamond or amorphous carbon layer, and the…
We present a detailed description of semi-quantum molecular dynamics simulation of stochastic dynamics of a system of interacting particles. Within this approach, the dynamics of the system is described with the use of classical Newtonian…
The process of numerical thermalization in particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations has been studied extensively. It is analogous to Coulomb collisions in real plasmas, causing particle velocity distributions (VDFs) to evolve towards a Maxwellian…
We develop an algorithm for bosonic path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) simulations with periodic boundary conditions (PBC) that scales quadratically with the number of particles. Path integral methods are a powerful tool to simulate…

Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) offer an efficient and accurate framework for large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, effectively bridging the gap between classical force fields and \textit{ab initio} methods. In…
The effect of surface atom vibrations for H$_2$ scattering from a Cu(111) surface at different temperatures is being investigated for hydrogen molecules in their rovibrational ground state ($v$=0, $j$=0). We assume weakly correlated…
First-principles molecular dynamics simulations of heat transport in systems with large-scale structural features are challenging due to their high computational cost. Here, using polycrystalline graphene as a case study, we demonstrate the…
Ultracold atomic systems have been of great research interest in the past, with more recent attention being paid to systems of mixed species. In this work we carry out non-perturbative Path Integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations of N…
We investigate whether making the friction spatially dependent on the reaction coordinate introduces quantum effects into the thermal reaction rates for dissipative reactions. Quantum rates are calculated using the numerically exact…
Nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) remain a major challenge for molecular simulations, as rigorous treatment requires imaginary-time path-integral methods with heavy computational overhead. Neglecting NQEs leads to systematic errors in…
We present a phenomenological force-constant model developed for the description of lattice dynamics of sp2 hybridized carbon networks. Within this model approach, we introduce a new set of parameters to calculate the phonon dispersion of…

The effect of pressure on structural and thermodynamic properties of ice Ih has been studied by means of path-integral molecular dynamics simulations at temperatures between 50 and 300 K. Interatomic interactions were modeled by using the…
Organic molecular solids can exhibit rich phase diagrams. In addition to structurally unique phases, translational and rotational degrees of freedom can melt at different state points, giving rise to partially disordered solid phases. The…
