Studying phase transition temperature of pentadecane using MD simulations

PUBLICATIONS

Reparameterization of the OPLS-AA force field for hydrocarbons

By simulating from a half-gel starting structure, we are able to determine accurately the phase transition temperature of pentadecanes with the optimized L-OPLS parameters (Siu et al., JCTC 2012).
