Abstract
Extensive molecular dynamics computer simulations have been conducted on ambient neat formamide, methanol and water, using unformly the polarizable AMOEBA force field for each molecule. Each of these molecules can form hydrogen bonded networks of varying extent. Nuclear quantum effects have been determined from the classical trajectories by applying the’GSTA’ scheme introduced recently. In each liquids, intramolecular N–H, O–H and C–H bonds are affected the most, while the first intermolecular H-bonding distances are also influenced. The effects of nuclear quantum effects on higher order correlations, such as angular distributions and 3D spatial correlations, are also demonstrated.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
