摘要
The free surface of liquid Hg at two temperatures has been studied by using first-principles molecular dynamics simulations. The longitudinal ionic density profile shows an oscillatory shape, and the wavelength of the oscillations is in good agreement with experiment. The associated self-consistent valence electronic density profile shows much weaker oscillations which are somewhat out of phase with the ionic ones. The calculated x-ray reflectivity shows a marked maximum at a wave-vector transfer of q(z) approximate to 2.2 angstrom(-1), whose origin is related to the surface layering.
