In the present chapter, the link between Molecular Dynamics, one of the most renowned simulation techniques in the world of statistical physics, and X-Ray diffraction, probably the most powerful and non-destructive technìque to assess the structure of materials of any kind, is examined. After a brief survey of classical (force field-based) and quantum methods (AIMD), we will illustrate the comparison between distribution functions calculated from simulation trajectories and structure factors obtained from experimental diffraction patterns. This will be done through a few examples on molecular/ionic liquids and Deep Eutectic Solvents.

Abstract

In the present chapter, the link between Molecular Dynamics, one of the most renowned simulation techniques in the world of statistical physics, and X-Ray diffraction, probably the most powerful and non-destructive technìque to assess the structure of materials of any kind, is examined. After a brief survey of classical (force field-based) and quantum methods (AIMD), we will illustrate the comparison between distribution functions calculated from simulation trajectories and structure factors obtained from experimental diffraction patterns. This will be done through a few examples on molecular/ionic liquids and Deep Eutectic Solvents.
