This indicates that the applicability regime is apparently wider than simple atomic systems with spherically symmetric interactions. ...
... 30,31 For simple fluids, the general tendency is that it increases from α SE ≃ 0.14 for plasmarelated systems with soft (Coulomb-like) interparticle interaction to α SE ≃ 0.17 for extremely steep hard-sphere interactions. 31 Numerous confirmations of the applicability of the SE relation without the hydrodynamic diameter to dense simple fluids have been reported, including charged particles in the plasma-related context, 31-34 soft (inverse power) repulsive particle fluids, 35 the LJ fluid, 26,31,36,37 and the HS fluid. 31,38,39 Several important nonspherical molecular liquids have been examined using numerical simulations in Ref. 40, and the applicability of the SE relation (3) has also been confirmed. ...
... Lambrecht) . some of these results will be compared to our calculations [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] . Indeed, assessment of potassium and sodium alkali chloride were the most investigated ones [ 19 , 21 , 23 , 24 ], but magnesium chloride [22] and the ternary MgNaK chloride [ 22 , 25 , 26 ] attract more attention as they became salts of interest, offering the support of experimental studies to the design of accurate phase diagrams. ...
... 50 provided parameters for KCl-MgCl 2 and NaCl-KCl-MgCl 2 . Consistent with our prior research, 51 we utilized the two distinct force field models, FF1 and FF2, developed by Machado et al. 33 and Ishii et al., 52 respectively, for studying molten alumina. ...
... Hill [12] demonstrated "random samples from random distributions", i.e. a data set collected from arbitrary samples provided from a variety of different distributions is the distribution of Newcomb-Benford [15]. Pietronero et al. [16] and Whyman et al. [17] also demonstrate NBL scale invariance and that it is the most usual among other natural data sets whose distributions are scaleinvariant as well. Moreover, they propose NBL generalization in terms of power laws to a series of numbers generated from more complex systems. ...
... Eq. (5) was tested not only for the LJ liquids but also for pure liquids with various molecular shapes such as linear (N 2 ; CO 2 , etc.), chain (n-alkanes), and disc (C 6 H 6 and C 10 H 8 ) [6]. Eq. (6) was tested for dilute solutions of the spherical fullerenes, C 60 ; C 180 ; C 240 , and C 540 , in liquid Ar which mimics the conditions applicable to the original SE relation, i.e., dilute solutions of large spherical diffusing particles [7]. In that study, it was confirmed that the mass ratio term vanishes when the mass of the diffusing particle becomes large, which is theoretically justified [8]. ...
