Abstract

We evaluate the charge distribution on the surface of a model cluster which simulates a 2:1 type clay mineral and the binding forces between the model cluster surface and water molecules with semi-empirical molecular orbital method (MOPAC). It is found that the negative charge is not localized on the oxygen atoms of the model cluster surface. We calculate the binding forces acting on the water molecules in model cluster-water system and compare them with the binding forces of solid and liquid phases of water. We qualitatively discuss the binding force acting on the water molecule directly sorbed on the model cluster surface and the binding force acting on the water molecule which is not sorbed on the model cluster surface.
