Table 7.

Average temperature, average energy drift, average SCF iteration number, heat of vaporization, and diffusion coefficients calculated from Einstein relation of liquid water (32 water in 9.862 Å periodic cubic box) in microcanonical ensemble simulation using SCC-DFTB with 5th order DXL−BOMD algorithm and zero charge for initial charge guess, respectively. Results from two different SCF convergence criteria are shown. For each algorithm under a specified SCF convergence criteria, four different trajectories are carried out and summarized below.
