Hi, I am trying to implement parameters for boron because I am simulating a carborane (cluster molecules of CH and BH units). This corresponds to a plastic crystal phase and the shape is a icosahedra cage. In this kind of phase, the molecules are arranged within a lattice, but they do not have restriction in the reorientational motion. Besides, they have correlation time in ps second. I found these parameters for boron(J. Chem. Phys., Vol. 105, No. 6, 8 August 1996) and I simulate 100ns of this lattice. I also calculated the relaxation time, and they reproduce the experimental results. The problem is the energy, because the potential energy is positive. How can I explain the positive values for the potential energy? Do you think the problem is in the bond an angle force constant?
