Na+Cl− pair in a SPC/E with a weak distance restraint. (a) PMF for the unrestrained pair (dash line) and restrained pair (solid line). (b) site-site distance distribution for Na+Cl− with a weak harmonic restraint. The expected distribution from the potential of mean force is the thick black line; RESPA MTS is the thin black line; FCE MTS with Langevin damping coefficients of γ =5, 10 and 20 ps−1 are colored gray, blue and red respectively.
