| Popis: | The authors applied the time dependent density functional method (TDDFM) and a linear model to solvation dynamics in simple binary solvents. Changing the solute-solvent interactions at t=0, the authors calculated the time evolution of density fields for solvent particles after the change (t>0) by the TDDFM and linear model. First, the authors changed the interaction of only one component of solvents. In this case, the TDDFM showed that the solvation time decreased monotonically with a mole fraction of the solvent strongly interacting with the solute. The monotonical decreases agreed with experimental results, while the linear model did not reproduce these results. The authors also calculated the solvation time by changing the interaction of both components. The calculation showed that the mole fraction dependence had the peak. The TDDFM presented a much higher peak than the linear model. The difference between the TDDFM and the linear model was caused by a nonlinear effect on an exchange process of solvent particles. |
