In MD, the equations of motion are integrated forward in time to track the motions of atoms in order to obtain dynamic information. Here we use this information to calculate equilibrium self diffusivities and nonequilibrium transport diffusivities. Better understanding of diffusion leads to improved application of zeolites in catalysis, separations, and novel membranes.
