To help interpret the atomic-level details associated with the dynamics of glasses, ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations of sorbitol were performed. These simulations differ from the classical MD method, which uses empirical interatomic potentials, in that the PES (and associated atomic forces) are recalculated at every time step of the MD simulation, and hence take into account the delicate and dynamic nature of the inter-molecular interactions. The AIMD simulations of amorphous sorbitol were performed using both CP2K and VASP . Amorphous models were generated by progressively reducing the density of a 10molecule gas-phase system and allowing for equilibration (of energy and temperature) via NVT simulations until the density of the solid was reached, followed by a series of NPT simulations to determine the density as a function of temperature. Finally, NVT simulations were performed on the various NPT-generated structures to determine the atomic dynamics of the system at constant temperature and volume.
