The application of molecular dynamics to fitting EXAFS data
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent work, a new method for using the outputs of molecular dynamics simulations to generate enhanced inputs for EXAFS analysis of nanoparticles was reported. Although currently limited to the first coordination shell, the method was demonstrated to improve both the quality of the fit, and the cross-correlation of the EXAFS data with that from TEM and XRD. Here we discuss further the justifications behind this assertion.

Probing the Limits of Conventional Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Analysis Using Thiolated Gold Nanoparticles.
We present a method for quantifying the accuracy of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) fitting models. As a test system, we consider the structure of bare Au147 nanoparticles as well as particles bound with thiol ligands, which are used to systematically vary disorder in the atomic structure of the nanoparticles. The accuracy of the fitting model is determined by comparing two dis...
متن کاملA theoretical and experimental examination of systematic ligand-induced disorder in Au dendrimer- encapsulated nanoparticles†
In this paper we present a newmethodology for the analysis of 1–2 nm nanoparticles using extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. Different numbers of thiols were introduced onto the surfaces of dendrimer-encapsulated Au nanoparticles, consisting of an average of 147 atoms, to systematically tune the nanoparticle disorder. An analogous system was investigated using density...
متن کاملCombining EXAFS spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations to understand the structural and dynamic properties of an imidazolium iodide ionic liquid.
The structural properties of liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide [C4mim]I have been investigated using an integrated approach that combines EXAFS spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. A well defined first coordination shell composed on average of 4.5 I(-) ions around the imidazolium cation has been evidenced, and the structural arrangement of the I(-) ions has been found t...

متن کاملA molecular dynamics simulation of water transport through C and SiC nanotubes: Application for desalination
In this work the conduction of ion-water solution through two discrete bundles of armchair carbon and silicon carbide nanotubes, as useful membranes for water desalination, is studied. In order that studies on different types of nanotubes be comparable, the chiral vectors of C and Si-C nanotubes are selected as (7,7) and (5,5), respectively, so that a similar volume of fluid is investigated ...
