Computer simulation studies of Newton black films

We study via molecular dynamics simulations thin films (Newton black films, NBF) consisting of water coated with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactants. We analyze in detail the film properties (distribution of particles, pair correlation functions, roughness of the film, tilt angle of the hydroca...

520 |a We study via molecular dynamics simulations thin films (Newton black films, NBF) consisting of water coated with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactants. We analyze in detail the film properties (distribution of particles, pair correlation functions, roughness of the film, tilt angle of the hydrocarbon chain, electron density profiles, and mobility of water molecules) as a function of water content in the film core (i.e., film thickness, H). Our simulations indicate that water is part of the bilayer structure as solvation water. We estimate that around 2.25 water molecules per surfactant are part of this solvation structure. The structural analysis of the NBF shows that the headgroups exhibit a high degree of in-plane ordering. We find evidence for the existence of cavities in the monolayer, where only water is present. The basic structure of the monolayer is conserved down to water contents of the order of 4 water molecules per surfactant (H approximately equal to 11 A). The computed monolayer roughness for the present model is 2.5 A, in good agreement with the experimental data. We find that the roughness is very sensitive to the details of the interatomic potentials. Water mobility calculations emphasize the sluggish dynamics of very thin NBF. Diffusion coefficients of water in the lateral direction strongly decrease with film thickness. We find that the typical mean squared displacement of water in the direction normal to the bilayer is between 9 and 80 A2. Overall, our results indicate that the equilibrium SDS Newton black films studied in the X-ray experiments contain from 2 to 4 water molecules per surfactant
