On the infrared spectrum of molten NaCl: a molecular dynamics simulation

Abstract The infrared absorption spectrum of molten sodium chloride was calculated by molecular dynamics at 1362 K. The absorption maximum was at ≈ 165 cm −1 . Our results (including a conductivity of 426 Ω −1 m −1 , the experimental value being 434 Ω −1 m −1 are in good agreement with empirical data.
