Structure and dynamics of water at the mackinawite (001) surface.

چکیده
We present a molecular dynamics investigation of the properties of water at the interface with the mackinawite (001) surface. We find water in the first layer to be characterised by structural properties which are reminiscent of hydrophobic substrates, with the bulk behaviour being recovered beyond the second layer. In addition, we show that the mineral surface reduces the mobility of interfacial water compared to the bulk. Finally, we discuss the important differences introduced by simulating water under conditions of high temperature and pressure, a scenario relevant to geochemistry.

DFT-D2 simulations of water adsorption and dissociation on the low-index surfaces of mackinawite (FeS).
The adsorption and dissociation of water on mackinawite (layered FeS) surfaces were studied using dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D2) calculations. The catalytically active sites for H2O and its dissociated products on the FeS {001}, {011}, {100}, and {111} surfaces were determined, and the reaction energetics and kinetics of water dissociation were calculated using the clim...
متن کاملStructures and Properties of As(OH)3 Adsorption Complexes on Hydrated Mackinawite (FeS) Surfaces: A DFT-D2 Study
Reactive mineral-water interfaces exert control on the bioavailability of contaminant arsenic species in natural aqueous systems. However, the ability to accurately predict As surface complexation is limited by the lack of molecular-level understanding of As-water-mineral interactions. In the present study, we report the structures and properties of the adsorption complexes of arsenous acid (As...

متن کاملStructure, energetics, and dynamics of water adsorbed on the muscovite (001) surface: a molecular dynamics simulation.
Molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations of liquid water adsorbed on the muscovite (001) surface provide a greatly increased, atomistically detailed understanding of surface-related effects on the spatial variation in the structural and orientational ordering, hydrogen bond (H-bond) organization, and local density of H2O molecules at this important model phyllosilicate surface. MD simulatio...
متن کاملTransformation of mackinawite to greigite: An in situ X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscope study
Synthetic mackinawite (tetragonal FeS) has been found to transform rapidly to greigite (Fe3S4) above ;373 K during heating experiments, as observed by in situ X-ray diffraction. Using monochromatic synchrotron radiation (l 5 0.60233 Å), we measured the unit-cell parameters of both synthetic mackinawite between 293 and 453 K and of greigite formed from this mackinawite between 293 and 593 K. The...
