The self-diffusion of hydrogen in NaX zeolite has been studied by molecular-dynamics simulations for various temperatures and pressures. The results indicate that in the temperature range of 77–293 K and the pressure range of 10–2700 kPa, the self-diffusion coefficients are found to range from 1.61 × 10−9 m2·s−1to 3.66 × 10−8 m2·s−1which are in good agreement with the experimental values from the quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) and pulse field gradients nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG NMR) measurements. The self-diffusion coefficients decrease with increasing pressure due to packing of sorbate-sorbate molecules which causes frequent collusion among hydrogen molecules in pores and increase with increasing temperature because increasing the kinetic energy of the gas molecules enlarges the mean free path of gas molecule. The activated energy for hydrogen diffusion determined from the simulation is pressure-dependent.

Abstract A new transport property, the self-exchange velocity (SEV) of neighbouring unlike ions, has been evaluated from molecular dynamics simulations of molten LiCl, RbCl and LiRbCl2 at 1100 K and the mixture at 750 K. From the increase of the SEV's in the order Rb+ (pure salt) <Li+ (mixture) < Rb+ (mixture) < Li+ (pure salt), it is conjectured that there is a strong correlation between the SEV’s and the internal mobilities. An interpretation of the Chemla effect in its dependence on temperature is given. The pair correlation functions and the self-diffusion coefficients are also calculated and discussed.

Diffusion Of Hydrogen

The self-diffusion of hydrogen in Ca2+-, Mg2+- and Ba2+-exchanged X zeolites (Mg46X, Ca46X, and Ba46X) has been studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for various temperatures and loadings. The results indicate that in the temperature range of 77–298 K and the loading range of 1–80 molecules/cell, the self-diffusion coefficients are found to range from1.2×10-9 m2·s−1to2.3×10-7 m2·s−1which are in good agreement with the experimental values from the quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) and pulse field gradients nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG NMR) measurements. The self-diffusion coefficients decrease with loading due to packing of sorbate-sorbate molecules which causes frequent collusion among hydrogen molecules in pores and increases with increasing temperature because increasing the kinetic energy of the gas molecules enlarges the mean free path of gas molecule. The mechanism of diffusion of hydrogen molecules in these zeolites is transition diffusion. Knudsen diffusion occurs at low loading and the molecular bulk diffusion occurs at higher loading. For given temperature and loading, the self-diffusion coefficients decrease in the orderBa46X<Mg46X<Ca46X, due to the different sizes and locations of the divalent cations. Moreover, the effect of concentration of molecular hydrogen on self-diffusion coefficient also is analyzed using radial distribution function (RDF).

The self-exchange velocity (SEV) of neighboring unlike ions, has been evaluated by molecular dynamics simulations of molten CsCl, (Li, K)C1 and (Li, K, Cs)Cl at 673 K. From the increase of the SEV's in the same order as the internal mobilities it is conjectured that there is a strong correlation between these two properties. The pair correlation functions, and the self-diffusion coefficients and the SEV's of Li+, K+, and Cs+ with reference to Cl- have also been calculated. The results allow to conclude that the self-exchange velocity of the cations become vCs < vK < vLi at xCs =0.1 and vLi < vK < vCs at xCs > 0.4. The sequence of the self-diffusion coefficients agrees with that of the SEV's. The results enable to conclude that it is possible to enrich Cs at up to xCs ~ 0.3 - 0.4 in the molten LiCl-KCl eutectic system.

The structural properties of SiO2 liquid during cooling have been investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. The interatomic forces acting on the particles are calculated by the modified Tersoff potential parameters. The glass transition temperature and structural properties of the resulting SiO2 system at various temperatures have been investigated. The fivefold coordinations of Si and threefold coordinations of O atoms were observed, and the coordination defects of system decrease with decreasing temperature up to 17 % at 300 K. The self-diffusion coefficients for Si and O atoms drop to almost zero below 3000 K. The structures were distorted at high temperatures, but very stable atomic network persisted up to high temperature in the liquid state.

Molecular dynamics simulations of molten (La1/3, K)Cl at 1123 K have been performed in order to investigate the correlation between simulated dynamical properties such as the self-exchange velocity (ν), the self-diffusion coefficient (D) and the electrical conductivity (κ) and the corresponding experimental values. The simulated results revealed that v and D of potassium decrease with increasing mole fraction of lanthanum, as expected from the experimental internal cation mobilities, b. The decrease of bK, νK and DK is ascribed to the tranquilization effect by La3+, which strongly interacts with Cl−. In contrast, bLa, νLa, and DLa increase with increasing concentration of La3+. The distorted linkage of the network structure of [LaCl6]3− units was disconnected with increasing the concentration of the alkali chloride. This might be attributed to the stronger association of La3+ with Cl− due to the enhanced charge asymmetry of the two cations neighboring Cl−. The sequence of the calculated v’s, D’s, and κ’s is consistent with those of the referred experimental results.

The purpose of this paper is to review our latest molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies on the temperature and density dependence of the translational and reorientational motion in supercritical (SC) methanol. In the present treatment, Jorgensen's [W. L. Jorgensen. J. Phys. Chem. A102, 8641 (1998)] transferable potential model, tested in a recent MD study of hydrogen bonds in this fluid [M. Chalaris and J. Samios, J. Phys. Chem. B103, 1161 (1999)], was employed to simulate the dynamics of the system. The simulations were performed in the canonical (NVT) ensemble along the isotherms 523, 623, and 723 K and densities corresponding to the pressures from 10 to 30 MPa. Several dynamical properties of the fluid have been obtained and analyzed in terms of appropriate time-correlation functions (CFs). With respect to the translational dynamics, the self-diffusion coefficients obtained have been used to test the applicability of the well-known Chapman-Enskog kinetic theory. We have found that the theoretical predictions for the self-diffusion coefficients are only in qualitative agreement with the MD results over the whole temperature and density range studied. Finally, the inspection of the reorientational CFs and their corresponding correlation times lead to the conclusion that the reorientational motion of the SC methanol molecules in the sample is anisotropic.

This study develops a model to predict the CO2 hydrate layer thickness. As to achieve this, we need the mass transfer coefficients at the interface between water phase and CO2 hydrate layer and the diffusion coefficients in CO2 hydrate. Firstly, we conducted the visualization experiment of CO2 hydrate layer dissolution behavior. From the experiment, we obtain the mass transfer coefficient on the CO2 hydrate layer. The experimental results show good agreement with the existing empirical equation. Secondly, we conducted the molecular dynamics simulation of CO2 hydrate to obtain the self-diffusion coefficients of CO2 and H2O molecules. As to calculate the self-diffusion coefficients, we identified inter-cage hopping and intra-cage movement of molecules based on each molecule travel distance. Finally, the results indicate that the kinetic model we proposed reproduce the layer thickness on the order.

Ion Size

The solvation structure and dynamics of alkali metal (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+) and halide (F-, Cl-, Br-, I-) ions in liquid N -methylacetamide (NMA) are calculated at two different temperatures T = 313 K and 453 K, by using classical molecular dynamics simulations. We have also considered [Formula: see text] and some larger cations such as I +, Me 4 N +, and Et4N+ in this study to investigate the size dependence solvation structure and dynamics of ions in liquid NMA. With the increase of ion size, the self-diffusion coefficients of cations are found to increase and the maximum is observed at Me4N+ , whereas for halide ions the increase of diffusion coefficient with ion size continues up to I- and no maximum is observed. However, the relative increase of the diffusion coefficients of larger ion compared to those of Li+ and F+ are found to be significantly higher at low temperature. Results are very good in agreement with experimental observation.
