Light scattering by liquid LiCl: a computer simulation and theoretical study

Abstract
The physical processes responsible for the 'interaction-induced' polarizabilities in ionic melts are investigated by electronic structure calculations. These are built into a computationally tractable model for the polarizability of the melt whose correlation functions are then calculated by molecular dynamics simulation. The experimental light scattering data are quantitatively reproduced. A theory of the lineshape is verified with the simulation data. The influences on the lineshape of the various dynamical modes of the ionic system (e.g. the plasmon mode) are thereby assessed.
