Microscopic dynamics in simple liquids: a clue to understanding the basic thermodynamics of the liquid state

Abstract: The advent of inelastic x-ray scattering techniques has prompted a reawakened interest in the dynamics of simple liquids. Such studies are often carried out using simplified models to account for the stochastic dynamics that give rise to quasielastic scattering. The vibrational and diffusive dynamics of molten potassium are studied here by an experiment using neutron scattering and are shown to provide some clues to understand the basic thermodynamics of the liquid state. The findings reported here suggest way… Show more

“…This is known to be the case for molten simple alkali metals such as K, 21 but goes counter to what is found for complex liquids such as Ga. 22 The wave-vector dependence of the parameters obtained after fitting the experimental results with Eq. ͑3͒, and ⌫, is shown in Fig.…”

“…13 There, it was found that the slope of the Q phonon frequencies for wave vectors below Ϸ0.7 Å −1 , where the dispersion relation is almost linear, increases by some 11.6% while the increase due to density is obviously far more modest. From data on classical liquids such as molten metals 26 we know that such phonon frequencies are generally close to those followed by the fourth moment of the response function…”

“…It has been shown by neutron or inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) spectroscopy that the vibrations in the boson peak range have a partial character of transverse acoustic modes of high wavevectors that are hybridized with localized vibrations due to the disorder of the amorphous phase. 35,[48][49][50][51][52][53] In the authors knowledge, collective dynamics of ionic liquids has not yet been investigated by IXS spectroscopy. On the other hand, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have played a crucial role to unravel the mixed nature of sound-like and localized modes within the range 1 < ω < 100 cm −1 .…”
