Solvation dynamics in a Brownian dipolar lattice. Comparison between computer simulation and various molecular theories of solvation dynamicsThe transient response of ions upon sudden creation or removal of a local, external charge in a one-component Coulomb lattice gas is investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. Our model can be regarded as a simplified description of solvation dynamics processes in electrolyte systems. Effects of the nonlinearity of the relaxation are pointed out and are contrasted with predictions from linear ͑Debye-Hückel and Debye-Falkenhagen͒ theories.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
