Isotopic equilibria in aqueous clusters at low temperatures: Insights from the MB-pol many-body potential

By combining path-integrals molecular dynamics simulations with the accurate MB-pol potential energy surface, we investigate the role of alternative potential models on isotopic fractionation ratios between H and D atoms at dangling positions in water clusters at low temperatures. Our results show c...
