X Abstract

We use molecular dynamics computer simulations to investigate the relaxation dynamics of a binary Lennard-Jones liquid confined in a narrow pore. We find that this dynamics is strongly influenced by the confinement in that time correlation functions are much more stretched than in the bulk. By investigating the motion of the particles as a function of their distance from the wall, we can show that this stretching is due to a spatial heterogeneity in the dynamics in that the relaxation time depends strongly on this distance.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
