Abstract

Abstract A new transport property, the self-exchange velocity (SEV) of neighbouring unlike ions, has been evaluated from molecular dynamics simulations of molten LiCl, RbCl and LiRbCl 2 at 1100 K and the mixture at 750 K. From the increase of the SEV's in the order Rb + (pure salt) <Li + (mixture) < Rb + (mixture) < Li + (pure salt), it is conjectured that there is a strong correlation between the SEV’s and the internal mobilities. An interpretation of the Chemla effect in its dependence on temperature is given. The pair correlation functions and the self-diffusion coefficients are also calculated and discussed.
