Discussion
This animation includes a long enough time (22.5ps) to show the translational motion of octadecane molecules in the gas phase at 600 K, in addition to their vibration and rotation. Each frame of the movie is a graphical display of a molecular dynamics calculation captured at 25-femtosecond intervals.
