Hi all,
I am simulating the adsorption of methane in silica nanopore (300K,10atm)using fix gcmc. The diameter of pore is about 1nm, and the surface of the pore are hydroxyl fully. When I perform the adsorption, I consider the ineraction of Si-CH4 and O-CH4 only. But, in the result, I found the temperature of the methane group is about 300K initially, but it fall to zero suddenly during the simulation. I don’t know whether this result is normal. If I ignore the temperature fluctuation, can I get the correct adsorption amount of methane in pore? How can I settle this problem? I have attempted many ways, modifying the tfac_insert keyword, using “fix nve/limit + fix langevin”, etc. But this problem still exist. So, could you give me some suggestions? I attach my input script and part of my outfile (I killed the simulation when I found the temperature fall to zero.).
Looking forward to your response. Thanks to your help.
Yours
Sincerely
