Velocity Autocorrelation
The Velocity Autocorrelation
Function (VACF) provides a means of investigating collision processes
in molecular systems. Like the mean square displacement, it can also provide
information about diffusion. It is capable of distinguishing between solids,
liquids and gases from their molecular motion and it reveals the timescales
on which molecular collisions occur. This experiment will show what a
VACF looks like and how it is related to the molecular dynamics.
