Solvent-mediated interactions between nanostructures: from water to Lennard-Jones liquid
arXiv:1809.06069 · doi:10.1063/1.5037571
Abstract
Solvent-mediated interactions emerge from complex mechanisms that depend on the solute structure, its wetting properties and the nature of the liquid. While numerous studies have focused on the two first influences, here, we compare results from water and Lennard-Jones liquid in order to reveal to what extent solvent-mediated interactions are universal with respect to the nature of the liquid. Besides the influence of the liquid, results were obtained with classical density functional theory and brute-force molecular dynamics simulations which allows us to contrast these two numerical techniques.
