EFFECT OF ASPERITIES OF DIAMOND PLATES ON BEHAVIOR OF ULTRATHIN WATER FILM CONFINED BETWEEN THEM
Molecular dynamics simulations of ultrathin water film confined between absolutely rigid diamond plates with periodic atomic-scale relief are described. Films with thickness of one and two molecular diameters are concerned and TIP4P model is used for water molecules. Dynamical and equilibrium characteristics of the system for different values of the external load (pressure on the surfaces) and shear force are investigated. The comparison of results of the modeling for systems with flat and rough surfaces is carried out. It is shown that periodic atomic-scale relief does not influence qualitatively the majority of the studied properties of the system.
