Abstract
The structure of the primitive model fused salt in planar slit is studied by Monte Carlo simulation. The density profile of the ionic melt in the slit with respect to the walls displays oscillations similar to those observed with simple liquids. At the pore width of about seven ionic diameters, the pressure exerted on the walls is comparable to the virial pressure of the bulk melt. The calculated surface energy of 210+20 mN m−1 is close to the experimental value for molten potassium chloride at similar conditions.Keywords
