The wavefunctions of the adsorbed guest are represented on a
finite uniform spatial grid. The maximum kinetic energy of the guest, which can
be represented in this solutions is therefore limited to
,
where
is the mass
of the guest, and
is the coarsest grid spacing. For grid spacings of
0.7 bohr,
typically used in the following (see Chapter 3 and below) simulations,
this condition implies a kinetic energy cutoff of
850K.
As the primarily interested temperatures are
300K, the impact of the finite
basis representation is not severe and it is further reduced by the
counter-poise correction, as discussed above.
