Abstract
MiniMol is a minimal molecular dynamics and statics program provided with the book "Modeling Materials: Continuum, Atomistic and Multiscale Techniques" by Ellad B. Tadmor and Ronald E. Miller, Cambridge University Press, 2011.
MiniMol has the following capabilities:
(1) Constant energy molecular dynamics.
(2) Constant temperature molecular dynamics with one of the following: velocity rescaling, Nose-Hoover thermostat or Langevin thermostat.
(3) Energy minimization of static configurations ("Molecular Statics") using a conjugate gradient algorithm.
(4) Periodic boundary conditions for an orthogonal periodic box using the minimum image convention.
(5) MiniMol is "KIM-compliant" which means it will work with any interatomic model conforming to the Knowledgebase of Interatomic Models (KIM) API (see http://openKIM.org for details.)
Credits
MiniMol is based on a Fortran 90 program called "md3.f90" orginially written by Furio Ercolessi as an MD tutorial, which the authors have adapted and extended with his gracious permission.
