Free-energy calculations using classical molecular simulation: application to the determination of the melting point and chemical potential of a flexible RDX model

Abstract

Several methods are used in sequence to determine the chemical potential of atomistic RDX in the solid and liquid phases, and its corresponding melting point. Results yield the thermodynamic melting point of 488.75 K at 1.0 atm.
