Anisotropic electric fluctuations in polar liquids under spherical confinement

Stenhammar, Joakim LU ; Linse, Per LU and Karlström, Gunnar LU (2011) 8th Liblice Conference on the Statistical Mechanics of LIquids 109(1). p.11-20
Abstract
The anisotropic local electric fluctuations within a nanoscopic sphere of a polar fluid surrounded by vacuum are analysed using dielectric theory and molecular simulation. The electric fluctuations are characterized through the mean-square multipole moments (Q(l)(2)), which are related to the dielectric constant of the fluid. The results show that the fluctuations are suppressed close to the fluid boundary, with a stronger effect on the fluctuations perpendicular as compared to those parallel to the surface. Furthermore, the effect becomes weaker and more short-ranged as the order l of the fluctuating multipole moments is increased. The agreement between the results from dielectric theory and those from molecular simulations are... (More)
