__init__(nchained=3, nparticles=216, density=0.96, mass=Quantity(value=39.9, unit=dalton), epsilon=Quantity(value=997.7355141783887, unit=joule / mole), sigma=Quantity(value=3.4, unit=angstrom), h=Quantity(value=41.106703184149616, unit=joule / mole), r0=Quantity(value=3.816370964251868, unit=angstrom), w=Quantity(value=1.02, unit=angstrom), **kwargs)

Create a chain of double wells in a fluid of WCA particles.

This creates polymer chain linked by the double-well potential. This was inspired by the trimer version used in [1]. In the case nchained=2, this is the same as DoubleWellDimer_WCAFluid with ndimers=1.

Parameters:

nchainedint, optional, default = 3

Number of particles in the double-well polymer chain.

nparticlesint, optional, default = 216

Number of particles.

densityfloat, optional, default = 0.96

Reduced density, N sigma^3 / V.

massopenmm.unit.Quantity with units compatible with angstrom, optional, default=39.9 amu

Particle mass.

epsilonopenmm.unit.Quantity with units compatible with kilocalories_per_mole, optional, default=120K*kB

WCA well depth.

sigmaopenmm.unit.Quantity, optional, default = 3.4 angstrom

WCA sigma.

hopenmm.unit.Quantity, optional, default = 593.28K * kB

Double well barrier height.

r0openmm.unit.Quantity, optional, default = 2^(1/6) * 3.4 angstrom

Double well “short” state distance for minimum energy.

wopenmm.unit.Quanity, optional, default = 1.02 angstrom

Double well width; “extended” state minimum energy distance is r0 + 2w.

Examples

Create the default: a trimer with double-well bonds in a WCA particle bath.

>>> dw_chain = DoubleWellChain_WCAFluid()
>>> system, positions = dw_chain.system, dw_chain.positions

Create a system with a chain of 4 particles in a system with 400 total particles.

>>> dw_chain = DoubleWellChain_WCAFluid(nchained=4, nparticles=400)
>>> system, positions = dw_chain.system, dw_chain.positions

You can create a chain with length up to nparticles, although large fractions are likely to lead to nonsensical initial conditions except for the smallest system sizes.

>>> dw_chain = DoubleWellChain_WCAFluid(nchained=8, nparticles=8)
>>> system, positions = dw_chain.system, dw_chain.positions

Asking for 0 in the chain or for 1 in the chain is the same as asking for a WCAFluid.

>>> dw_chain = DoubleWellChain_WCAFluid(nchained=0)
>>> system, positions = dw_chain.system, dw_chain.positions
>>> dw_chain = DoubleWellChain_WCAFluid(nchained=1)
>>> system, positions = dw_chain.system, dw_chain.positions
