Molecular dynamics simulation was used to study the effect of pressure on self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of n-alkanethiols [(CH3(CH2) n-1, n=14, 15] on Au (111) for dry systems and in the presence of water. The stress-strain behavior and effects of compression on structural characteristics under various normal pressures have been investigated. We found the effect of compression on tilt and tilt orientation angles for dry and hydrated SAM system. Furthermore, a comparison of the results obtained for tilt and tilt orientation angles for hydrated C14 and C15 indicates a more stable structure for C15 (an odd system) under high pressures. We also found excellent elastic recovery of SAM monolayers with and without water is evidence of their exceptional potential to be used under compression in various conditions. Young’s moduli are calculated for various systems under uniaxial compression.

Modification of structure and thermodynamic properties of montmorillonite is studied by molecular dynamics simulation. The simulation results show that the pure montmorillonite system is unstable in nature, while the structure of doping-modified montmorillonite is more stable. In simulation process, the activity between the molecule and impurity ions maintains strong synergistic effect, and the configuration of the analog system is energetically most stable.
