Abstract
The equilibrium and dynamical properties of the liquid-vapor interfaces of water-ammonia mixtures are investigated by means of molecular-dynamics simulations. Altogether, we have simulated seven different systems of different concentration of ammonia. The inhomogeneous density, anisotropic orientational profiles, surface tension, and the pattern of hydrogen bonding are calculated for both water and ammonia molecules in order to characterize the location, width, thermodynamic aspects, and microscopic structure of the liquid-vapor interfaces of each of the water-ammonia systems. The dynamical aspects of the interfaces are investigated in terms of the anisotropic diffusion and dipole orientational relaxation of water and ammonia molecules. The properties of the interfaces are compared with those of the corresponding bulk phases. The present theoretical results are also compared with experimental findings wherever available.
