Relaxation in Random Pores

Department of Physics and Astronomy

ABSTRACT

To study the dynamics of a binary liquid mixture in glass pores, I have performed a Molecular Dynamics simulation and measured the concentration fluctuation autocorrelation function and several other dynamic functions. Although the system is at a very high temperature in its one-phase region, the results for the velocity autocorrelation function and the mean square displacement functions are deceptively similar to those of the bulk when the bulk is in its two-phase region. I will discuss what this may mean when the pore is very large.
