The Effect of Simulation Cell Size on the Diffusion Coefficient of an Ionic Surfactant Aggregate

Results of all-atom molecular dynamics simulation have been presented for salt-free aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate at its fixed total concentration in a simulation cell containing one to four preliminarily formed quasi-stable ionic aggregates with equal aggregation numbers n = 32. The obtained molecular dynamics trajectories have been used to study the structural and transport properties of the micellar solution. The value of the...
