Solvation dynamics time-domain methods

In this chapter I have presented the basics of SD and described several approaches that can be used to uncover the molecular mechanisms contributing to SD both within the LRA and when the response is nonlinear. Within the LRA, I discussed INM and time-domain methods for analyzing the solvation TCP and the related solvation velocity time correlation, G(f). The methods were illustrated by showing how they can determine the relative contributions to SD from different molecules, types of molecular motion, and correlations among solvent molecules. I also discussed how they can be used relate SD to other observable dynamics in liquids and to explore the similarities and differences between SD in...
