public class MCMoveClusterRotateArm
extends MCMoveClusterMolecule

An MC Move for cluster simulations that "wiggles" a chain molecule. If the first or last atom in the chain is chosen, it is moved to a new position with the same bond length as before, but perturbed by some angle from its original position. If an Atom in the middle of the chain is chosen, a crankshaft move is performed that maintains its distances with its neighbors. If a middle Atom has a bond angle too close to 180 degrees (such that rotation does nothing) the Atom is not moved at all. In each doTrial, wiggle moves are attempted on all molecules in the box.

Method Detail

setBox

public void setBox(Box p)

Description copied from class: MCMoveBox

Sets the box on which this move acts. The box itself can be changed via this method, if desired.

Overrides:

setBox in class MCMoveMolecule

setSpecies

public void setSpecies(ISpecies newSpecies)

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 MCMoveClusterMolecule

doTransform

protected void doTransform()

acceptNotify

public void acceptNotify()

Description copied from class: MCMoveMolecule

Method called by IntegratorMC in the event that the most recent trial is accepted.

Overrides:

acceptNotify in class MCMoveClusterMolecule

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 MCMoveClusterMolecule

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 MCMoveClusterMolecule

Parameters:

temperature - used to compute chi

Returns:

chi
