Abstract
Simulation studies of the dihedral angle in water
Abstract:
We report the distribution g(d)
of the dihedral angle d for
hydrogen-bonded dimers and tetramers in liquid water, for the MCY
and ST2 models. The results show a significant excess of
staggered conformations
d ~ (n+1/2)2P/3,
n=0,+1, +2, characteristic of ice-like local
structures.
