Development of ions-TIP4P-Ew force fields for molecular processes in bulk and at the aqueous interface using molecular simulations
Abstract
Monovalent ions such as alkalis and halides play essential roles in aqueous and biological systems; thus a proper representation of these ions is significant in explicit molecular dynamics simulations. In this study, we re-parameterize ions interaction potentials based on TIP4PEw water at 298K with the additive non-polarizable models. The charges of the ions were kept as +1 for alkali metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+) and -1 for halides (F-, Cl-, Br-, I-). The experimental enthalpies of hydration were used to optimize the potential parameters. To validate the potential models, extensive molecular dynamics calculations were carried out to examine the bulk, interfacial, static structural and dynamical properties of the aqueous ionic solutions. These included radial distribution functions, angle distributions, velocity autocorrelation functions, diffusion coefficients, binding energies, mean residence time, surface potential, and potential of mean force. The computed results agreed with the experimental data and observations.
