摘要
The criterion for selecting temperature intervals in parallel-tempering molecular simulations was discussed. The replica-exchange simulations were conducted using multiple phases spread across a range of temperatures. There is no specified upper limit to the temperature range. The results indicated that the temperatures in a parallel-tempering scheme should be set such that about 20% of all the swap attempts are accepted.
