In this paper, four coarse-graining (CG) models are proposed to accelerate molecular dynamics simulations of FCC metals. To this aim, at first, a proper map between beads of the CG models and atoms of the all-atom (AA) system is assigned, afterwards mass of the beads and the parameters of the CG models are determined in a manner that the CG models and the original all-atom model have the same physical properties. To evaluate and compare precision of these four CG models, different static and dynamic simulations are conducted. The results show that these CG models are at least 4 times faster than the AA model, while their errors are less than 1 percent. © 2018 Polish Society of Theoretical... 

The classical methods utilized for modeling nano-scale systems are not practical because of the enlarged surface e ects that appear at small dimensions. Contrarily, implementing more accurate methods is followed by prolonged computations as these methods are highly dependent on quantum and atomistic models, and they can be employed for very small sizes in brief time periods. In order to speed up the Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of the silicon structures, Coarse-Graining (CG) models are put forward in this research. The procedure involves establishing a map between the main structure's atoms and the beads comprising the CG model and modifying the parameters of the system so that the...
