AbstractRecently we developed a new nonequilibrium molecular simulation method [1] that allows the direct study of interdiffusion in multicomponent mixtures. The method combines stochastic insertion and deletion moves characteristic of grand canonical (GC) simulations with molecular dynamics (MD) to control the chemical potential μi of a species i. Restricting the insertions and deletions to two separate control volumes (CV's) one can apply different μ's in distinct locations, and thus create chemical potential gradients. DCV-GCMD can be used to study transient phenomena such as the filling of micropores or used in steady-state mode to determine the diffusion coefficients in multicomponent fluid mixtures. We report on the effects of molecular interactions and demonstrate how in a sufficiently nonideal ternary mixture this can lead to up-hill or reverse diffusion. In addition we introduce a novel extension of DCV-GCMD that is specifically designed for the study of gradient-driven diffusion of molecules that are simply too large to be inserted and deleted.

Abstract Molecular dynamics simulations of molten DyCl3-NaCl were carried out at liquidus temperatures of the phase diagram. The chemical potential and the activity of NaCl was successfully estimated with the method proposed by Powles et al., which requires only positional data of the ions at the temperatures in question.
