Interaction short range

The short-range force is written as the sum of three terms  

The van der Waals force is often modeled with the Lennard-Jones function or by an inverse power relation.The former is based on the two fitting parameters Uij and Cij, representing, respectively, the maximum attraction distance and the strength of the interaction.For ions of different species, the Lennard-Jones parameters are typically calculated by combining the values of the individual species  

For example, if the chosen ionic electrostatic shape S is a sphere with a uniformly decreasing charge density, the corresponding weighting scheme is the TSC  

Within the Ewald approach, the charge distribution is defined as a Gaussian function (see Eq. [8]), and the sum of the direct Coulomb force

It is thus seen that the dipole-induced dipole propagation gives an exponential rather than an inverse x cube dependence of U x) with x. As with the dispersion potential, the interaction depends on the polarizability, but unlike the dispersion case, it is only the polarizability of the adsorbed species that is involved. The application of Eq. VI-43 to physical adsoiption is considered in Section XVII-7D. For the moment, the treatment illustrates how a long-range interaction can arise as a propagation of short-range interactions. 

The second excitation mechanism, impact scattering, involves a short range interaction between the electron and the molecule (put simply, a collision) which scatters the electrons over a wide range of angles. The usefiil feature of impact scattering is that all vibrations may be excited and not only the dipole active ones. As in Raman spectroscopy, the electron may also take an amount of energy hv away from excited molecules and leave the surface with an energy equal to Eq + hv.

The results in the prior two sections were for the Macroscopic multipole and PME solvers in isolation. A complete MD simulation involves much more than these routines. In addition to computing the short range interactions from bonding forces, etc., the particle positions and velocities need to be updated each timestep. Additionally, efficient MD programs recognize that the... 

Sutton and Chen extended the potential to longer range to enable the study of certain problems such as the interactions between clusters of afoms [Sutton and Chen 1990]. Their objective was to combine the superior Fiimis-Sinclair description of short-range interactions with a van der Waals tail to model the long-range interactions. The form of the Sutton-Chen potential is ... 

The classical kinetic theoty of gases treats a system of non-interacting particles, but in real gases there is a short-range interaction which has an effect on the physical properties of gases. The most simple description of this interaction uses the Lennard-Jones potential which postulates a central force between molecules, giving an energy of interaction as a function of the inter-nuclear distance, r. 

According to Allen and Tildesley, the standard recipe to evaluate Af/ in step one of the algorithm described in Sec. IIIB involves computing the energy of atom i with all the other atoms before and after the move (see p. 159 of Ref. 25, italics by the present author) as far as simple fluids are concerned. The evaluation of Af/ can be made more efficient in this case by realizing that for short-range interactions U can be split into three contributions...

We have assumed so far, implicitly, that the interactions are strictly local between neighboring atoms and that long-ranged forces are unimportant. Of course the atom-atom interaction is based on quantum mechanics and is mediated by the electron as a Fermi particle. Therefore the assumption of short-range interaction is in principle a simplification. For many relevant questions on crystal growth it turns out to be a good and reasonable approximation but nevertheless it is not always permissible. For example, the surface of a crystal shows a superstructure which cannot be explained with our simple lattice models. 

In a classical simulation a force-field has to be provided. Experience with molecular liquids shows that surprisingly good results can be obtained with intermolecular potentials based on site-site short-range interactions and a number of charged sites... 

As already mentioned, chiral cations are involved in many areas of chemistry and, unfortunately, only few simple methods are available to determine their optical purity with precision. In the last decades, NMR has evolved as one of the methods of choice for the measurement of the enantiomeric purity of chiral species [ 110,111 ]. Anionic substances have an advantage over neutral reagents to behave as NMR chiral shift agents for chiral cations. They can form dia-stereomeric contact pairs directly and the short-range interactions that result can lead to clear differences in the NMR spectra of the diastereomeric salts. 

The popular and well-studied primitive model is a degenerate case of the SPM with = 0, shown schematically in Figure (c). The restricted primitive model (RPM) refers to the case when the ions are of equal diameter. This model can realistically represent the packing of a molten salt in which no solvent is present. For an aqueous electrolyte, the primitive model does not treat the solvent molecules exphcitly and the number density of the electrolyte is umealistically low. For modeling nano-surface interactions, short-range interactions are important and the primitive model is expected not to give adequate account of confinement effects. For its simphcity, however, many theories [18-22] and simulation studies [23-25] have been made based on the primitive model for the bulk electrolyte. Ap-phcations to electrolyte interfaces have also been widely reported [26-30]. 

The Born equation thus derived is based on very simple assumptions that the ion is a sphere and that the solvents are homogeneous dielectrics. In practice, however, ions have certain chemical characters, and solvents consist of molecules of given sizes, which show various chemical properties. In the simple Born model, such chemical properties of ions as well as solvents are not taken into account. Such defects of the simple Born model have been well known for at least 60 years and some attempts have been made to modify this model. On the other hand, there has been another approach that focuses on short-range interactions of an ion with solvent molecules. 

Then we made a new approach that recognizes short-range interactions of a hydrated ion with solvents. By this approach, for hydrophilic ions could be... 

In Eq. (31) we should note that U r represents the interaction energy per primary solvent molecule. Then the number of solvent molecules that can be interact directly with an ion in phase 5" (= O or W) is denoted as N. Accordingly, the contribution of the short-range interactions to the solvation energy of the ion phase S (i.e., transfer... 

O or W). We have also assumed that AGt( (z-dep) is ruled only by short-range interactions in the same manner as the hydrated ions and then have obtained from Eqs. (36)-(39) and Eq. (47) ...
