Abstract

A simulation of a supersaturated sodium chloride solution with the Monte Carlo statistical thermodynamic method is reported. The water-water interactions are described by the Matsuoka-Clementi-Yoshimine (MCY) potential, while the ion-water potentials have been derived from ab initio calculations. Structural features of the solution have been evaluated, special interest being focused on possible precursors of nucleation.
