Abstract

Controlling ionic transport in liquids is anticipated to provide new scientific and technological opportunities, but it requires accurate knowledge of atomic-scale dynamics of ions beyond the hydrodynamic description. Atomic dynamics in liquids is characterized by strong and dynamical correlations among atoms, which render a conventional approach to describing the dynamics in reciprocal space challenging. We propose an alternative approach to describe liquid dynamics in real space and time using the time-delayed two-body correlation function, Van Hove correlation function, and discuss recent results on the local dynamics in water and electrolytes.
