Abstract We provide an overview of the Adaptive Resolution Simulation method (AdResS) based on discussing its basic principles and presenting its current numerical and theoretical developments. Examples of applications to systems of interest to soft matter, chemical physics, and condensed matter illustrate the method’s advantages and limitations in its practical use and thus settle the challenge for further future numerical and theoretical developments.

The transient terahertz (THz) pulse with high peak field has become an important tool for matter manipulation, enabling many applications such as nonlinear spectroscopy, particle acceleration, and high harmonic generation. Among the widely used THz generation techniques, optical rectification in lithium niobate (LN) has emerged as a powerful method to achieve high fields at low THz frequencies, suitable to exploring novel nonlinear phenomena in condensed matter systems. In this review, we focus on introducing single- to few-cycle THz generation in LN, including the basic principles, techniques, latest developments, and current limitations. We will first discuss the phase matching requirements of LN, which leads to Cherenkov-like radiation, and the tilted pulse front (TPF) technique. Emphasis will be put on the TPF technique, which has been shown to improve THz generation efficiency, but still has many limitations. Different geometries used to produce continuous and discrete TPF will be systematically discussed. We summarize the advantages and limitations of current techniques and future trends.

Temperature and pressure have direct and remarkable implications for drying and dewatering effect of low rank coals such as lignite. To understand the microenergy change mechanism of lignite, the molecular dynamics simulation method was performed to study the self-diffusion of lignite/water under different temperatures and pressure. The results showed that high temperature and high pressure can promote the diffusion of lignite/water system, which facilitates the drying and dewatering of lignite. The volume and density of lignite/water system will increase and decrease with temperature increasing, respectively. Though the pressure within simulation range can make lignite density increase, the increasing pressure showed a weak impact on variation of density.

We study the "folding" behaviors of homopolymers with one end fixed. By using canonical ensemble molecular dynamics simulation method, we observe the conformational changes during folding processes. Long chains collapse to the helical nuclei, then regroup to helix from the free-end to form the compact conformations through the middle stages of helix-like coil and helix-like cone, while short chains do not apparently have the above mentioned middle stages. Through simulated annealing, the native conformation of homopolymer chain in our model is found to be helix. We show the relations between specific heat C v (T) and radius of gyration R g (T) as functions of temperature, chain length and the interaction strength, respectively. We find that these two quantities match well and can be combined to interpret the "folding" process of the homopolymer. It is found that the collapse temperature Tθ and the native-like folding temperature T f do not change with the chain length in our model, however the interaction strength affects the values of Tθ and T f .
