Physical Properties of thin film water between amphibole surfaces

Abstract

Nano-thickness thin film water between amphibole crystal surfaces were investigated using molecular dynamics simulations.  MXDORTO/MXDTRICL system was used thoughout in this study with the interatomic potential model of water and of newly developed one for amphibole.  Under the boundary conditions of three dimensional periodic repeations, the oposite planes of tremolite surface are both (110) plane and the same direction.  The structure of film water, diffusivity, viscosity, etc. were investigated.
