Ion Sizes and Finite-Size Corrections for Ionic-Solvation Free Energies
arXiv:physics/9709042 · doi:10.1063/1.475219
Abstract
Free energies of ionic solvation calculated from computer simulations exhibit a strong system size dependence. We perform a finite-size analysis based on a dielectric-continuum model with periodic boundary conditions. That analysis results in an estimate of the Born ion size. Remarkably, the finite-size correction applies to systems with only eight water molecules hydrating a sodium ion and results in an estimate of the Born radius of sodium that agrees with the experimental value.
