Introduction

This page is dedicated to the research concerning coarse-grained surface potentials. The current activity is directed towards promotion and further development of EES potential. The EES potential is the exact description of the surface interaction of ellipsoidal colloidal particles. Having an adjustable density function, the exact ellipsoid-substrate potential may be employed as a coarse-grained model for the surface interactions of rigid ellipsoidal molecules at nanoscale as well, with a negligible error as low as 3%. The EES potential possesses no nonphysical limits and is a reliable alternative to the expensive atomistic descriptions in molecular simulations.

This page is under construction at the moment. However, the automatic parameterization tool for arbitrary molecules is available in the Downloads section.
