摘要：
Molecular dynamics (MD) methods for calculating the melting point of complex molecular and ionic solids and nanoparticles are described. Various approaches for simulating melting and computing the thermodynamic melting point are discussed along with some force fields that have been used in simulations of the melting of molecular and ionic solids. The different structural, energetic and dynamical quantities used to characterize the melting transition are described. The article ends with a discussion of selected examples of melting point calculations of bulk solids and nanoparticles. Pointers on how each method can be implemented in DL_POLY are given.
