Parameter-Free Coordination Numbers
After a lot of hard work, the second article of Ruben has been published in the Journal of Chemical Physics. The scheme, called ASANN, provides robust coordination numbers for solid-liquid interfaces and metal (alloy) nano-particles and surfaces.
The picture below reports the cation distribution and coordination at a graphite electrode of about -2.5 V vs. SHE. ASANN resolves that Cs+ is partially desolvated at the interface, while Na+ is not.
