title: Structure and dynamics of liquid CS2: Going from ambient to elevated pressure conditions.
abstract: Molecular dynamics simulation studies were performed to investigate the structural and dynamic properties of liquid carbon disulfide (CS2) from ambient to elevated pressure conditions. The results obtained have revealed structural changes at high pressures, which are related to the more dense packing of the molecules inside the first solvation shell. The calculated neutron and X-ray structure factors have been compared with available experimental diffraction data, also revealing the pressure effects on the short-range structure of the liquid. The pressure effects on the translational, reorientational, and residence dynamics are very strong, revealing a significant slowing down when going from ambient pressure to 1.2 GPa. The translational dynamics of the linear CS2molecules have been found to be more anisotropic at elevated pressures, where cage effects and librational motions are reflected on the shape of the calculated time correlation functions and their corresponding spectral densities.
