Program Objectives
Develop an inter-atomic potential for HCNO molecular solids that
• allows reactivity (i.e. bond breaking and forming with rehybridization) within and between molecules
-multiple molecules react under low and high P conditions
• is general and transferable between molecules
-same potential function regardless of molecule
-requires quantum-based functional forms, not ad hoc functions
• reproduces high and low pressure structures
-fit to molecular and solid structures (high & low coordination)
Program Objectives
Continued...
Develop an inter-atomic potential for HCNO molecular solids that
• incorporates intermolecular vdW and Coulombic forces
-must be consistent with reactivity
• is suitable for large-scale simulations (106+ atoms)
• is compatable with existing force fields
-takes advantage of prior work by Rice, Thompson, etc.
Strategy• Bonding Forces: Reactive covalent bonding based on
near-neighbor tight binding theory in the form of a bond order formalism.
• Use screening criterion rather than distance to fullfill near neighbor requirement.
• Non-bonded Forces: Fixed Dispersion (LJ) and Coulomb Interactions.
• Transfer functions to ARL/Thompson
• Variable charge/charge transfer
• Validate, validate, validate
Green: Largely done Yellow: In progress Red: Challenge to be met.
Today
Team Synergies• Richard Martin has provided data for hypothetical high-
coordination oxygen structures needed for effective potential fitting.
• Rod Bartlett is providing data regarding reaction paths for validation (e.g. nitromethane geometries along the C-N rxn coordinate)
• Betsy Rice has been working to incorporate functions into ARL/DoD modeling codes
• Work with Don Truhlar on charge transfer
• Validate, validate, validate
Green: Largely done Yellow: In progress Red: To be initiated.

Bond Order Equations
Multi-step fitting process:
First Step:
• Near-neighbor pair terms (repulsive and attractive) and discrete empirical bond order values for monoelemental structures (molecules, clusters, and solids) fit to bond energies/ lengths/force constants.
• Key feature - same pair potentials used for same elements, only difference being the value of the many-body bond order.
• Produces pair terms and bond order values that are transferable between environments (molecules, solids).

Oxygen and nitrogen functions have minima around 110o, producing bent structures. Carbon has a minimum at 180o, creating a tendency for open structures.

Bond Order EquationsThird Step:
Linear combination of elemental bond order functions and add correction factors for mixed system. Because the tight binding theory is followed (b (Z)-1/2) the corrections are small and the terms are transferable.

Screening• The tight binding theory requires that near-neighbors be
defined, which is invaluable for fitting, but…….
• How do you effectively define near neighbors without introducing severe cut-offs and associated non-physical forces?
• Can this definition be used to incorporate intermolecular non-bonded forces?
Screening• We are utilizing an atomic screening function that analytically
distinquishes between covalent and non-bonding forces:
i
k
j
No screening, Sij = 1
ij
Screened, Sij = 0
Screening function:
Potential Energies: Sij x bonded + (1-Sij) x nonbonded
•Significantly smooths potential surface relative to distance dependent cut-off function
•With the exception of O..H hydrogen bonding, the function does remarkably well for energetic molecular solids.

Need an analytic function that distiguishes between atom pairs in the same molecule and pairs in different molecules.
Screening Function• Partial charges vary within a molecule:
• How do we compensate in the intramolecular bonding forces? This is where we are today!
PlansShort-Term Plans (6 months): •Incorporate forces from the bond-order potential into our codes •Help with incorporating forces into ARL/Missouri codes•Validate against reaction paths from ab initio/Bartlett data.•Validate against shock/phase data (with Rice/Thompson)•Refine parameters as needed•Incorporate efficient partial charges into simulation codes (with Phillpot/Florida)
Long-Term Plans (6 months - 3 years)
•Incorporate charge-transfer terms into potential (with Truhlar/Stuart(Clemson))•Refit bond order terms terms including charge transfer as needed•Validate against phase and chemistry data
