Ab-Initio Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Calculations of Spectroscopic Parameters in Hydrogen-Bonding Liquids in Confinement (Project 8)

摘要

We investigate the effect of several nanoscale confinements on structural and dynamical properties of liquid water and binary aqueous mixtures. By means of molecular dynamics simulations based on density functional theory and atomistic force fields. Our main focus is on the dependence on the structure and the hydrogen-bonding-network of the liquids near the confinement interface at atomistic resolution. As a complementary aspect, spatially resolved profiles of the proton NMR chemical shift values are used to quantify the local strength of the hydrogen-bond-network.
