Abstract
Pure and sodium hydroxide doped with single-component hydrates of methane and propane are studied using molecular and lattice dynamics methods. Vibration density of states and the dependence of Helmholtz free energy on temperature and cell volume are calculated. Dynamic stability of empty and filled by gas sI and sII structures doped with 1 or 2 NaOH molecule is shown in the wide range of temperature values. Comparison of free energy values allows calculating the thermal expansion coefficient and demonstrating the possibility of self-preservation effect in NaOH-doped methane and propane hydrates with ~1.8 and ~1.4 mol% of sodium hydroxide, respectively.
