Path integral-molecular dynamics study of electronic states in supercritical water

We have carried out path integral-molecular dynamics simulations to describe microscopic details of excess electrons in supercritical water over a wide range of solvent densities, ρw, along the T = 645 K isotherm. The well-tested simple-point charge model for water was used. The transition from loca...
