Abstract

Description

We have proposed an efficient parameterization method for a recent variant of the Gay-Berne potential for dissimilar and biaxial particles and demonstrated it for a set of small organic molecules. Compared to the previously proposed coarse-grained models, the new potential exhibits a superior performance in close contact and large distant interactions. The repercussions of thermal vibrations and elasticity has been studied through a statistical method. The study justifies that the potential of mean force is representable with the same functional form, extending the application of this coarse-grained description to a broader range of molecules. Moreover, the advantage of employing coarse-grained models over truncated atomistic summations with large distance cutoffs has been briefly studied.
