The impact range for smooth wall-liquid interactions in nanoconfined liquids
arXiv:1309.4001 · doi:10.1039/c3sm52441h
Abstract
Bulk and nanoconfined liquids have initially very different physics; for instance, nanoconfined liquids show stratification and position-dependent relaxation processes. A number of similarities between bulk and nanoconfined liquids have nevertheless been reported in computer simulations during the last decade. Inspired by these observations, we present results from molecular dynamics computer simulations of three nanoconfined liquids (i.e., single-component Lennard-Jones (LJ) liquid, Kob-Andersen binary LJ mixture, and an asymmetric dumbbell model) demonstrating also a microscopic similarity between bulk and nanoconfined liquids. The results show that the interaction range for the wall-liquid and liquid-liquid interactions of the nanoconfined liquid are identical to the bulk liquid as long as the liquid remains "Roskilde simple" in nanoconfinement, i.e., the liquid has strong correlations between virial and potential energy equilibrium fluctuations in the NVT ensemble.
