The liquid-vapor interface of binary mixtures of charged particles is studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The interaction between particles is given by a short-range repulsive potential plus an attractive/repulsive Yukawa term, which models screened electrostatic interactions. To obtain the components of the pressure tensor two methods were used: a hybrid MD method which combines the hard sphere and continuous forces and a standard continuous MD method where the hard sphere was replaced by a soft interaction. We show that both models give essentially the same results. As the range of interaction decreases, the critical temperature and surface tension increase. The comparison with the restricted primitive model of ionic fluids is discussed.
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.
