Abstract:

The new carbon structure, fullerene is a very interesting molecule, and it is expected to be a superior potentially new material. This work addresses a classical Molecular Dynamics simulation for making clear the formation process of fullerene. Especially, we are paying our attention to carbon clusters' growth in a dilute gas-phase. In order to execute large-scale simulations, we parallelized the carbon MD simulation. We also represent parallelization results of MD program for gas-phase with very low density.
