Cooperative dipolar relaxation of a glycerol molecular cluster in nanoscale confinement-a computer simulation study
Abstract:
We performed an all-atoms molecular dynamics simulation of a glycerol molecular cluster confined in single-walled carbon nanotubes of different diameters to study the confinement size effect on the dipolar relaxation of glycerol molecules. We show that the many-body approach proposed by Dissado and Hill can be directly applied to simulation data and provides quantitative information concerning the cooperative nature of the dipolar relaxation of molecules in nanoscale confinement.

Intermolecular Forces in Solutions
When the strengths of the intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent species in a solution are no different than those present in the separated components, the solution is formed with no accompanying energy change. Such a solution is called an ideal solution. A mixture of ideal gases (or gases such as helium and argon,...
Noncovalent Attractions in Biomolecules
Four types of noncovalent interactions are hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions.
Hydrogen bonding results from the electrostatic attraction of a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a strong-electronegative atom like oxygen,...
