Description

At 300 K, abrupt and switched cutoff methods are compared to the Ewald summation method. The switching method reduces the self-diffusion coefficient, makes the liquid more ordered, and strengthens the intermolecular interactions due to a fictitious retarding force introduced by the switching function. 62 refs., 4 figs., 3 tabs
