巨正则系综中受限纳米液滴的相行为:逆液汽相变

Phase behavior of a confined nano-droplet in the grand-canonical ensemble: the reverse liquid-vapor transition

James F. Lutsko, Julien Laidet, Patrick Grosfils

摘要:

采用蒙特卡罗模拟方法,研究了等化学势下,纳米尺度球形腔中Lennard-Jones流体的平衡密度分布和热力学性质.结果描述了一个单一的空腔与半渗透性的墙壁,以及在恒定的化学势形成的封闭的空腔的集合。计算结果进行了比较,使用经典的密度泛函理论(DFT)。结果发现,DFT计算给出了定量准确的描述的压力和结构的流体。理论和模拟都表明存在“反向”液-汽转变,即平衡态在大体积时为液体,但在小体积时变为蒸汽。

英文摘要:

The equilibrium density distribution and thermodynamic properties of a Lennard-Jones fluid confined to nano-sized spherical cavities at constant chemical potential was determined using Monte Carlo simulations. The results describe both a single cavity with semipermeable walls as well as a collection of closed cavities formed at constant chemical potential. The results are compared to calculations using classical Density Functional Theory (DFT). It is found that the DFT calculations give a quantitatively accurate description of the pressure and structure of the fluid. Both theory and simulation show the presence of a ``reverse'' liquid-vapor transition whereby the equilibrium state is a liquid at large volumes but becomes a vapor at small volumes.
