public class MCMoveTorsionAceticAcid
extends MCMoveMolecule

An MC Move for cluster simulations that performs torsion moves on acetic acid. The move is performed on all molecules in the Box. The move needs the torsion potential in order to choose appropriate torsion angles. Only the hydrogen site is rotating by 180 degree.

Method Detail

doTrial

public boolean doTrial()

Description copied from class: MCMove

Method to perform trial move. Returns false if the trial could not be attempted, for example if there were no molecules in the box and the trial is designed to displace an atom; returns true otherwise.

Overrides:

doTrial in class MCMoveMolecule

rejectNotify

public void rejectNotify()

Description copied from class: MCMove

Method called by IntegratorMC in the event that the most recent trial move is rejected. This method should cause the system to be restored to the condition before the most recent call to doTrial.

Overrides:

rejectNotify in class MCMoveMolecule

getChi

public double getChi(double temperature)

Description copied from class: MCMove

Chi is the parameter within standard Metropolis Monte Carlo. The probability of accepting the move is given by min(1,chi).

Overrides:

getChi in class MCMoveMolecule

Parameters:

temperature - used to compute chi

Returns:

chi
