Molecular simulation study of the glass transition in a soft primitive model for ionic liquids

In this paper, we present a molecular dynamics study of the glass transition for a soft-core primitive model for ionic liquids, in which cations are fully flexible chains of tangent soft spherical monomers, being the positively charged monomer at one of the ends of the chain, and anions as charged soft spheres. We have monitored transport coefficients such as the self-diffusion coefficients and the shear viscosity, as well as correlation...
