Structure of the Lennard-Jones liquid estimated from a single simulation


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Combining the recent Piskulich-Thompson approach [Z. A. Piskulich and W. H. Thompson, {it J. Chem. Phys.} {bf 152}, 011102 (2020)] with isomorph theory, from a single simulation, the structure of a single-component Lennard-Jones (LJ) system is obtained at an arbitrary state point in almost the whole liquid region of the temperature-density phase diagram. The LJ system exhibits two temperature range where the vant Hoffs assumption that energetic and entropic forces are temperature independent is valid. A method to evaluate the structure at an arbitrary state point along an isochore from the knowledge of structures at two temperatures on the isochore is also discussed. We argue that, in general, the structure of any hidden scale-invariant system obeying the vant Hoffs assumption in the whole range of temperatures can be determined in the whole liquid region of the phase diagram from only a single simulation.
