Computer simulation of electric-field-induced cross-correlation functions in molecular liquids

Abstract

The fundamental time cross-correlation function 〈v→(t)ω${\to }^T$(0)〉 is characterized for the first time using a computer simulation of the effect of an external electric field on 108 interacting dichloromethane molecules in the liquid at 296 K. Here v→ is the molecular center-of-mass linear velocity and ω→ the angular velocity of the same molecule.
