Abstract

Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) stochastic calculations are carried out for a series of mixed rare gas clusters containing He and Ne which further include one H2O molecule as a single dopant. The ab initio potentials employed in the calculations, and the structural details provided by the QMC results, clearly reveal that the differences in the interaction forces which exist between the two solvent adatoms and the molecular solute are causing strongly competing environments that generate preferential shell structuring when surrounding the water molecule. The different behaviour of the two solvents, and the energetics of mixing, are analyzed in detail for small aggregates and for larger mixtures, revealing structural effects which originate from the different networking between solvent adatoms.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
