Abstract
The molecular dynamics study based on two-Lennard-Jones (12-6) centres pair potentials, with reduced bond lengths in the range 0·5 ⩽l/σ⩽0[sbreve]d8, and with e, σ-parameters simulating liquid F2, Cl2, Br2 and CO2 (14) is extended to time correlation functions. The calculated properties include: translational velocity and force self correlation functions; orientational self-correlation functions , a cross correlation function for P 2, angular momentum (J), and torque self-correlation functions. Diffusion constants (D) and rotational relaxation times (τ1, τ2, τ J ) have been evaluated and where possible compared with experimental data (D and τ J for F2, τ2 for Cl2). Calculations with 108 or 256 molecules are reported for several densities and temperatures for four model liquids. The nature of the one-particle motion is analysed qualitatively in terms of quasi-oscillations and -librations. It is difficult to fit the observed features into the framework of physical models proposed in the lite...
