Table 1. Main observables (with the appropriate dimensions) in Lennard Jones units, together with typical associated values in SI units for the mimicked real system.
Observable | Dimensions | LJ units | SI units |
---|---|---|---|
Length | L | a | 0.3 nm |
Mass | M | m | 1.6 × 10−25 kg |
Energy | E | ε | 2.74 × 10−21 J |
Temperature (Tp) | T | 3/2ε | 300 K |
Force | E/L | ε/a | 9.1 pN |
Time | 2.3 ps | ||
Friction | L3/ET | ξ | 7.6 × 10−9 m3(JK)−1 |
Note that kB = 1 in LJ units.
