Abstract
We report comparisons of the results of simulations and integral-equation
calculations on a selection of molten salts. We show that for all of these,
the structures from these two methods of calculation are in good
agreement. We also describe the first integral-equation calculation of a
molten salt with intermediate-range order based on a realistic interaction
potential that includes polarisable ions, and find a structure in good
agreement with experiment. This work opens up the possibility that we
may use integral-equation methods to predict the structures and
thermodynamic properties of complex and ordered molten salt mixtures
over a wide range of conditions.
