Abstract

Noble gas atoms trapped in the intracrystalline cavities of zeolites may form clusters. A classical-mechanical isoenergetic molecular dynamics simulation is performed to simulate the dynamical behavior of noble gas clusters in zeolite cavities. To implement the simulation, a model is adopted of a homogeneous spherical cavity with Morse interaction between the noble gas atoms and cavity walls. The results for Ar6 clusters indicate that the noble gas clusters in the cavity undergo the same solid/liquid phase changes as in free space, and, at high enough energies, a rapid exchange between atoms adsorbed on the inner surface and thosein the interior of the cavity. Mathematical quenching is used to investigated the multidimensional potential surface of Ar clusters in the cavity.
