Computer simulation study of HNO 3 dissociation in aqueous clusters

Hybrid quantum-classical molecular-dynamics simulations were performed for the dissociation process of HNO3 in aqueous clusters containing up to n=124 water molecules. By circumscribing the HNO3 and one water molecule within the quantum region, no dissociation was observed, even for the largest clus...
