Abstract

We present a cluster algorithm for the efficient simulation of solvated systems that we term solvent-shift Monte Carlo (SSMC). The algorithm involves a conformational change in a solvated solute molecule of interest, followed by a concerted movement of solvent particles about a rotation axis. The method satisfies detailed balance and can be applied to existing schemes to sample conformational space, where an axis or plane of rotation can be defined. We demonstrate that the algorithm significantly enhances the sampling of phase space in solvated systems, and may be easily combined with other advanced sampling techniques.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
