The effect of orthogonal electric fields on the molecular dynamics of liquid water, principle three of group theoretical statistical mechanics.

Abstract

Molecular dynamics computer simulation has been used to investigate the effect of orthogonal electric fields on the molecular dynamics of liquid water. It is found that a combination of a static electric field E X in the x axis and an orthogonal static electric field E Z in the Z axis results in the appearance of symmetric cross correlation functions of the type <A X(O) ZA (t)> = <A Z(O) A X(t)> in the laboratory frame (X, Y, Z). This is in accordance with the third principle of group theoretical statistical mechanics (g.t.s.m.). These cross correlation functions (c.c.f.'s) are observable experimentally at dielectric and far infra red frequencies.
