Abstract

Atomistic molecular dynamics simulation study of dipolar fluids confined to spherical nanocavities of radii ranging from Rc=1 to 4 nm reveals a surprisingly small Kirkwood correlation factor (gK) in water, but not so in dipolar Stockmayer fluid. This results in an ultrafast relaxation of the total dipole moment time correlation function (DMTCF) of water. The static dielectric constant of water under nanoconfinement exhibits a strong dependence on size with a remarkably low value even at Rc=3nm and a slow convergence to the bulk value because of surface-induced long-range orientational correlations. Interestingly, DMTCF exhibits a bimodal 1/f noise power spectrum. © 2019 authors. Published by the American Physical Society.
