Solvent structural contributions to the dissolution process of an apolar solute in water
We have examined structural features of aqueous microenvironments in the neighborhood of an apolar solute (Xe atom) using molecular dynamics techniques and the simple point charge model to represent the solvent. A detailed comparative study of equilibrium spatial correlations of the solvent structur...
