Normal mode calculations with the QM/MM full Hessian and the Mobile Block Hessian (MBH) method
(2009) Abstracts 7th Canadian Computational Chemistry Conference.- abstract
- We have implemented the full Hessian evaluation in QM/MM simulations, as well as the approximate Mobile Block Hessian (MBH). The Hessian is the 3Nx3N matrix containing the second derivatives of the potential energy surface with respect to the 3N nuclear coordinates, and needs to be diagonalized when calculating the frequencies and normal modes. In extended systems, however, its calculation, storage and diagonalization is an expensive computational task. Note that even in case of a small QM region, the numerous derivatives of the QM/MM interaction terms still form a bottleneck in the frequency calculation. Recently, the Mobile Block Hessian (MBH) method was developed in order to reduce the dimensionality of the Hessian. The main concept is the introduction of blocks, which move as rigid bodies during the vibrational analysis. The blocks can also be linear or have atoms in common (leading to adjoined blocks). This block concept is now combined with the QM/MM scheme. The reduced computational cost opens the path to a broad range of applications of normal mode analysis.
