Dielectric response of polar liquids in narrow slit poresVladimir Froltsov1 and •Sabine Klapp1,21Stranski-Laboratorium, Technische Universität Berlin, Strasse des 17. Juni 115, 10623 Berlin — 2Institut für Theoretische Physik, Technische Universität Berlin, Hardenbergstr. 36, 10623 Berlin

Based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and a simple (Stockmayer) model we investigate the static and dynamic dielectric response of polar liquids confined to narrow slit pores. The MD simulations are used to calculate the time–dependent polarization fluctuations along directions parallel and perpendicular to the walls, from which the components of the frequency–dependent dielectric tensor can be derived via linear response theory. Our numerical results reveal that the system’s response is strongly anisotropic. The parallel dielectric function, є(ω), has Debye–like character very similar to the corresponding isotropic bulk function, єbulk(ω), at the same chemical potential. Indeed, the main confinement effect on є(ω) consists in a shift towards smaller values relative to the bulk function. On the other hand, in perpendicular direction we observe a characteristic peak in the absorption part of the dielectric function, є(ω). This peak is absent in the bulk system and reflects strongly pronounced, damped oscillations in the polarization fluctuations normal to the walls.
