Intermolecular correlations in liquid acetonitrile (CH3CN) have been revisited by calculating orientational correlation functions. In the present approach, hydrogen atoms are included, so that a concept applicable for molecules of (nearly)…
In order to reveal the atomic level structure of liquid carbon tetrabromide, a new synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurement, over a wide momentum transfer (Q-)range, has been performed. These x-ray data have been interpreted together with…
Although liquid water has been studied for many decades by (X-ray and neutron) diffraction measurements, new experimental results keep appearing, virtually every year. The reason for this is that neither X-ray, nor neutron diffraction data…
Simulation (molecular dynamics and Car-Parrinello [Phys. Rev. Lett. 55, 2471 (1985)]) and diffraction (x-ray and neutron) studies on nitromethane are compared aiming at the determination of the liquid structure. Beyond that, the…
We investigate the quality of structural models generated by the Reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) method in a typical application to amorphous systems. To this end we calculate surrogate diffraction data from a Li2O-SiO2 molecular dynamics (MD)…
Neutron diffraction results obtained for plastic crystalline dichlorodibromomethane (CBr2Cl2) have been modelled by means of the Reverse Monte Carlo method. Comparison with its liquid phase is provided at several levels of the atomic…
Reverse Monte Carlo modeling of liquid water, based on one neutron and one X-ray diffraction data set, applying also the most popular interatomic potential for water, SPC/E, has been performed. The strictly rigid geometry of SPC/E water…
There are various routes for deriving partial radial distribution functions of disordered systems from experimental diffraction (and/or EXAFS) data. Due to limitations and errors of experimental data, as well as to imperfections of the…
Two different Reverse Monte Carlo strategies, 'RMC++' and 'RMCPOW', have been compared for determining the microscopic structure of some liquid and amorphous solid systems on the basis of neutron diffraction measurements. The first, '$g(r)$…
Molecular dynamics simulations using semi-empirical potentials are examined for three liquids to check the reliability of reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) simulations to reproduce atomic configurations when only total pair correlation functions…
The structure of 1,3,5_triphenylbenzene C6H3(C6H5)3 at 473 K was investigated using the X-ray diffraction method. The measurements of scattered radiation intensity were performed in a wide range of wave vector. For the first time the…
We have developed x-ray diffraction measurements with high energy-resolution and accuracy to study water structure at three different temperatures (7, 25 and 66 C) under normal pressure. Using a spherically curved Ge crystal an energy…
Disordered systems like liquids, gels, glasses, or granular materials are not only ubiquitous in daily life and in industrial applications but they are also crucial for the mechanical stability of cells or the transport of chemical and…
Synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments and molecular dynamics simulations have been performed on simple aliphatic aldehydes, from propanal to nonanal. The performance of the OPLS all-atom interaction potential model for aldehydes has…
Highly concentrated aqueous lithium chloride solutions were investigated by classical molecular dynamics (MD) and reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) simulations. At first MD calculations were carried out applying twenty-nine combinations of…
The liquid, plastic crystalline and ordered crystalline phases of CBr$_4$ were studied using neutron powder diffraction. The measured total scattering differential cross-sections were modelled by Reverse Monte Carlo simulation techniques…
A reduced model, which can fold both helix and sheet structures, is proposed to study the problem of protein folding. The goal of this model is to find an unbiased effective potential that has included the effects of water and at the same…
Molten iron chlorides are central to emerging energy technologies, including electrochemical iron production and redox flow batteries. Optimizing their electrochemical performance and transport properties requires atomic-scale structural…
Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed on pure liquid water, aqueous solutions of sodium chloride, and polymer solutions exposed to a strong external electric field with the goal to gain molecular insight into the structural…
We present the first successful application of the coupled cluster approach to simulate the X-ray absorption (XA) spectrum of liquid water. The system size limitations of standard coupled cluster theory are overcome by employing a newly…
