Abstract
The atomic behaviour in simple dense liquids is investigated by computer simulation. Two properties are studied from molecular dynamics calculations of a Lennard-Jones system: (i) the bond-angle distributions between a central particle and two other particles and (ii) the time correlation functions for both the relative velocities and the components of the relative velocities parallel to the line of particles. These properties are used for testing the reliability of stochastic simulations based on the generalized Langevin equation.
Keywords
- Brownian Dynamic
- Time Correlation Function
- Simple Liquid
- Relative Diffusion
- Generalize Langevin Equation
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
