TY - JOUR TI - Particle mesh Ewald: An N ⋅log( N ) method for Ewald sums in large systems AU - Tom Darden AU - Darrin M. York AU - Lee G. Pedersen PY - 1993 JO - The Journal of Chemical Physics DO - 10.1063/1.464397 UR - https://doi.org/10.1063/1.464397 AB - An N⋅log(N) method for evaluating electrostatic energies and forces of large periodic systems is presented. The method is based on interpolation of the reciprocal space Ewald sums and evaluation of the resulting convolutions using fast Fourier transforms. Timings and accuracies are presented for three large crystalline ionic systems. ER -
