Just a comment: The baro/thermostats commonly employed for NPT computations require coupling to a piston or bath. This is controlled by a user defined parameter, normally a time constant (although some programs may require a 'mass'). Unfortunately this brings some complications. The coupling results in artificial oscillations in your system related to the interaction with the piston/bath. It also controls how quickly and successful you can control the pressure and temperature. The oscillations can have an impact on what property you compute. For example, if you compute equilibrium properties you would like the system to experience many of these oscillations (better still if of low amplitude) so that this effect is averaged out as a white noise. However, you want the opposite situation when you compute kinetic or transport properties. In this case you would like the period of the oscillation to be very long, so that you don't 'see' an oscillation during the simulation that you will use to compute the kinetic or transport property. The thought here is that such properties are associated with a time constant and you want the time constant for the coupling to the piston/bath to be much longer. Unfortunately, the constraints on the coupling constatn necessary to computate properties may compromise how effective the baro/thermostat behaves. For these reasons, you may prefer a NVE ensemble where the baro/thermostat is not used. This is particularly true when computing transport properties such as diffusion coefficients.

You could try running an AIM analysis and hope for more consistent results. Using g03, you'll have to generate a cubefile (see http://www.gaussian.com/g_ur/u_cubegen.htm; I'd recommend a medium grid if your system is not too voluminous). And then you can run an AIM analysis on it (e.g. with http://theory.cm.utexas.edu/bader/). Keep in mind, that g03 cuts off the core orbs in the density of the cubefiles!

The augmented basis set contains diffuse functions, which lead to large overlap population and the charges on the electronegative oxygen atoms get small. MPA is known for this behavior. You can try NBO, which is less basis set dependent.

A general example are simulations where you are starting simulations for a newly built system and it is not fully equilibrated in a given box, or if the system by its physical nature would expand/collapse during your MD. A "bio" oriented example of such a situation are MD simulations of phospholipid membranes, where you apply pressure coupling in parallel to the surface of the membrane allowing for changes of area per lipid. In your case, the answer depends on how you prepared your system for simulations and how your fibrils are oriented into the box. I suppose, your fibrils are located along one of the axis, and if you wish to allow for their stretching you need to use NPT (with pressure coupling at least in the direction of fibrils).

Rev. B 65, 165401 (2002)) or a similar code that uses the same methodology (e.g. Atomistix ToolKit or Smeagol, although I am not familiar with the deeper details of the latter software). The key point of this method is that the boundary conditions are actually not periodic in the z direction. Instead, open boundary conditions are used, in order to apply a voltage across the structure, so that one can compute the electron current under finite bias. The system (a so-called two-probe) is subdivided into three parts, left and right electrodes, which are bulk-like (semi-infinite), and a central scattering region over which the bias is actually applied, and where the non-equilibrium electron distribution can be computed using Green's function techniques. To understand why one needs many Kz-points in this case, assume that you have an ideal system, i.e. the electrodes are identical to the central region. Let HL, HC, HR be the Hamiltonian of the left electrode, central region, and right electrode, respectively. HL, HR are calculated under periodic boundary conditions, while HC is evaluated (self-consistently) calculated with open boundary conditions using self-energies obtained from HL and HR. Now, clearly you will only get integer transmission in this system if HL=HR=HC. To obtain this, the same k-point sampling should be used in the Kx and Ky directions for the electrode and subsequent two-probe calculation (with open boundary conditions). This point is quite trivial. In the z-direction, however, the two-probe calculation corresponds to an infinite number of Kz points, thus you need a lot of k-points in the z-direction for the electrode calculation to ensure the same level of accuracy. Generally, the literature values for Kz may be a little conservative, but it is relatively inexpensive since these k-points are only required for the electrode calculation which is the smaller and faster part of the whole computation. In case you have specific questions about or general interest in Atomistix ToolKit, you can also post questions on its official user forum, http://quantumwise.com/forum.

Some litteratures mention k point parameters around 1x1x100 or 3x3x100 for Brillouin zone integration. It surprising me because in interface system like SAM in periodic condition k point parameters are like 8x8x1.
