[HTML][HTML] Molecular modeling of aqueous electrolytes at interfaces: Effects of long-range dispersion forces and of ionic charge rescaling

G Le Breton, L Joly - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
Molecular dynamics simulations of aqueous electrolytes generally rely on empirical force
fields, combining dispersion interactions—described by a truncated Lennard-Jones (LJ)
potential—and electrostatic interactions—described by a Coulomb potential computed with
a long-range solver. Recently, force fields using rescaled ionic charges [electronic
continuum correction (ECC)], possibly complemented with rescaling of LJ parameters [ECC
rescaled (ECCR)], have shown promising results in bulk, but their performance at interfaces …
