Abstract

Abstract The accuracy and efficiency of the direct Ewald summation are discussed in terms of the size of a Molecular Dynamics (MD) ionic system and the ranges of the r-space and q-space summations. The dependence of the convergence parameter α on the size of the system and on the choice of cut-off radius for the short-range potential is given. The possibility of neglecting the q-space term for large ionic systems is discussed in terms of the accuracy and efficiency of the simulation.
