Concentration Fluctuation/Microheterogeneity Duality Illustrated with Aqueous 1,4-Dioxane Mixtures

Résumé

The structural properties of aqueous 1-4 dioxane mixtures are studied by computer simulations of different water and dioxane force field models, from the perspective of illustrating the link between structural properties at molecular level and measurable properties such as radiation scattering intensities and Kirkwood-Buff integrals (KBI). A strategy to consistently correct the KBI obtained from simulations is proposed, which allows to obtain the genuine KBI corresponding to a given pair of molecular species, in the entire concentration range, and without necessitating excessively large system sizes. The application of this method to the aqueous dioxane mixtures, with all-atom CHARMM dioxane model and 2 water models, namely SPC/E and TIP3P, allows to understand the differences in structure of the corresponding mixtures at molecular level, particularly concerning the role of the water aggregates and its model dependence. This study allows to characterize the dual role played by the concentration fluctuations and the domain segregation, particularly in what concerns the calculated x-ray spectra.
