<p>The structure of sodium sulfate in tip3p water solution with the concentration of 0.1191 mol/dm<sup>3</sup> was studied by means of classical molecular dynamics. Both ions have clear hydration shells. The comparison between radial distribution functions and cumulative numbers of selected atoms around the reference one makes it possible to precisely describe the structure of investigated system. Applying such tools geometrical parameters of the hydrogen bond of the dimer SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup>/H<sub>2</sub>O have been obtained.</p><p> </p>

AbstractA molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to investigate the structural and dynamical properties of liquid tetrahydrofuran. In particular, we have calculated six radial distribution functions, translational and rotational autocorrelation functions and their associated frequency spectra.

ABSTRACT Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the stability with respect to increasing the simulated temperature from 300 to 2400 K of an isolated cluster composed of 32 titanium atoms. The interatomic interactions were modelled using Gupta potentials as implemented within the classical molecular dynamics simulation software DL_POLY. The radial distribution functions (RDF), diffusion coefficient, and density profiles were examined to study the structural changes as a function of temperature. It was found that the Ti32 nanocluster exhibits temperature structural transition. The icosahedron and pentagonal bi-pyramid structures were found to be the most dominant building block fragments. Deformation of the nanocluster was also measured by diffusion coefficient, and it was found that the Ti32 are mobile above the bulk melting point. The phase transitions from solid to liquid have been identified by a simple jump in the total energy curve, with the predicted melting temperature near the bulk melting point (1941.15 K). As expected, the RDF's and density profile peaks decrease with increasing temperature. Keywords: Molecular dynamics, titanium cluster, radial distribution functions, diffusion coefficient, mean square displacement.

We use the Oganov potentials and period boundary condition to perform molecular dynamics simulation of amorphous and liquid Mg2SiO4 systems under pressures 0 GPa and 40 GPa. We clarify structure of amorphous Mg2SiO4 at 0 and 40 GPa and compared with the one of Mg2SiO4 at liquid state. Especially, the origin of sub-peaks in radial distribution function of O-O, Si-Si and Mg-Mg pairs is explained clearly. The change of radial distribution functions, coordination number and the number of all types of bonds including the corner-, edge- and face-sharing bonds is also discussed in detail in this paper.
