Variability of the methane trapping in martian subsurface clathrate hydrates
Caroline Thomas, Olivier Mousis, Sylvain Picaud +1
Recent observations have evidenced traces of methane CH4 heterogeneously distributed in the martian atmosphere. However, because the lifetime of CH4 in the atmosphere of Mars is es…
A theoretical investigation into the trapping of noble gases by clathrates on Titan
Caroline Thomas, Sylvain Picaud, Olivier Mousis +1
In this paper, we use a statistical thermodynamic approach to quantify the efficiency with which clathrates on the surface of Titan trap noble gases. We consider different values o…
Clathrate hydrates as a sink of noble gases in Titan's atmosphere
C. Thomas, O. Mousis, V. Ballenegger +1
We use a statistical thermodynamic approach to determine the composition of clathrate hydrates which may form from a multiple compound gas whose composition is similar to that of T…
Structure and dielectric properties of polar fluids with extended dipoles: results from numerical simulations
V. Ballenegger, J. P. Hansen
The strengths and short-comings of the point-dipole model for polar fluids of spherical molecules are illustrated by considering the physically more relevant case of extended dipol…
Onsager model for a variable dielectric permittivity near an interface
Reimar Finken, Vincent Ballenegger, Jean-Pierre Hansen
Using a generalisation of an Onsager type approach, we are able to predict a dielectric permittivity profile of an inhomogeneous dipolar fluid in the presence of a dielectric inter…
Local dielectric permittivity near an interface
V. Ballenegger, J. -P. Hansen
A statistical mechanics expression is derived for the space-dependent dielectric permittivity of a polar solvent near an interface. The asymptotic behaviour of this local permittiv…
