[gmx-users] zirconia

[pushyami atluri]

hello,
   i would like to apologise for my hurried attempt to describe my problem earlier.
  in my hurried attempt i also happened to have attached the wrong topology file.
  well let me go again and describe what i am tryin to achieve.please do take the patience to look into it.
   
  i am a beginner to gromacs and what i am trying to achieve is to see the behaviour of nanosized zirconia particles when sintered.
  initially to start with  i have created a box containin two  spheres of 4 nm size separated by equilibrium distance .zirconia has body centered tetragonal structure with four oxygen atoms placed in the tetrahedral voids in a criss cross pattern such that no two oxygen atoms lie on the same space diagonal.
   
  i am using buckingham potentials and using the partial ionic model hence the charges -1.35 for oxygen and 2.7 for zirconium.
   the problem that i am encountering is that when i give a run for smaller particles like a 4 nm i get a system which is completely randomised.
   
  i checked back with the literature and the values of forces are right.so where could i be going wrong?
  please do check my topolgy file and see if i am doing any blunder.
