摘要：
我们利用分子动力学模拟与理论方法，研究了溶解在液态水中的痕量氦的蒸发过程。与实验观测结果一致，我们发现蒸发的氦的动能呈现超麦克斯韦分布。这种动能超出典型热预期的现象，可通过一种基于Fokker-Planck（福克-普朗克）方程的有效连续介质蒸发理论来解释，该理论通过平均力势和位置相关摩擦从分子层面进行参数化。借助这一描述，我们发现氦的蒸发受到界面附近摩擦的强烈影响——由于液-气界面能够在气体粒子周围发生形变，吉布斯分界面附近的摩擦异常小。我们的简化描述为痕量气体蒸发提供了一种机理解释：即欠阻尼粒子在势场中的运动，其所处的粘性环境在空气-水界面处快速变化。基于该理论，我们预测了蒸发过剩动能的温度依赖性，这一特性目前尚未被实验测量。
英文摘要：
We investigate the evaporation of trace amounts of helium solvated in liquid water using molecular dynamics simulations and theory. Consistent with experimental observations, we find a super-Maxwellian distribution of kinetic energies of evaporated helium. This excess of kinetic energy over typical thermal expectations is explained by an effective continuum theory of evaporation based on a Fokker-Planck equation, parameterized molecularly by a potential of mean force and position-dependent friction. Using this description, we find that helium evaporation is strongly influenced by the friction near the interface, which is anomalously small near the Gibbs dividing surface due to the ability of the liquid-vapor interface to deform around the gas particle. Our reduced description provides a mechanistic interpretation of trace gas evaporation as the motion of an underdamped particle in a potential subject to a viscous environment that varies rapidly across the air-water interface. From it we predict the temperature dependence of the excess kinetic energy of evaporation, which is yet to be measured.
