Dear all



in order to calculate the heat of evaporation I run a gas and bulk phase of a given solute eg. Heptane

using the same thermostat conditions

the RMSF of bulk phase (NPT) ( 1000 MOLECULES ) is 1.15 degrees

the RMSF of gas phase ( 1 molecule) is 50 degress



is this normal or do I have to adjust the friction coefficient gamma_ln for the gas phase



I copied in the following the output values of the temperature for gas phase



Thermostat used is Langevin

  ntt = 3, gamma_ln = 1.0,





 A V E R A G E S O V E R 5000000 S T E P S

 NSTEP = 5000000 TIME(PS) = 5000.000 TEMP(K) = 297.42 PRESS = 0.0





MANY THANKS

Fatima
