Density and time scaling effects on the velocity autocorrelation function of quantum and classical dense fluid para-hydrogen

Abstract

We report the results of a ring polymer molecular dynamics study of the Kubo velocity autocorrelation function of a quantum fluid as para-hydrogen aimed at the comparison with its classical counterpart. Quite different density conditions were considered for both the classical and quantum cases, in order to compare the two systems before and after the dynamical crossover typically undergone by the velocity autocorrelation function (VAF) of fluids at densities around the triple point, where the shape of the function changes from a monotonic to an oscillatory behavior with a negative minimum. A detailed study of the phase diagram of classical para-hydrogen was necessary for a reasonable choice of the classical states to be taken into consideration, in the spirit of the classical principle of corresponding states. The shape of the quantum and classical VAF was thoroughly analyzed, exhibiting at all studied densities clear differences that might be taken as evidence of quantum effects. We show that these differences are substantially reduced by applying a state-dependent time scaling with respect to a reference time identified with the inverse of the collision rate. An even better coincidence in shape is found by comparing the two s...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
