Motivation Event Driven Molecular Dynamics
Time Driven MD simulation vs. Event Driven MD simulation
V (r) =
{
∞ if r < σ0 if r ≥ σ
⇒ free flight between collisions
NVE ensemble.
τ = σ2
D sets the timescale

Definition of the order parameter
Observables for the Local Bond Ordering:
In 3d:
q6m(i) :=1
n(i)
n(i)∑
j=1
Y6m (~rij) , rij < 1.4
where Y6m (~rij) are the spherical harmonics (with l=6).

Detecting emerging crystallites
If particle i and nb neighbouring particle j satisfy~q6(i) · ~q6
∗(j) > 0.7
Crystalline particles (colorcoded ”green”), nb > 10.Low symmetry cluster (LSC)(colorcoded ”light brown”), nb > 5.

Some facts about EDMDHomogenous NucleationHeterogenous nucleation
Motivation
Will the substrate induce different nucleation pathways?
Where does the nucleation happen?
What are the consequences of the mismatch betweensubstrate and equilibrium crystal lattice constant?
What is the crystal structure of the nucleus?
How does the substrate change the nucleation rate?
