Does every nanofluid, solution, ionic liquid, or liquid has its unique radiation absorption?

It is well known that the peak absorption of gold nanofluids is at ~520nm wavelength (depends on the nanoparticle's size). Can another nanofluid (or other liquid, ionic liquid or a solution) have...

Is there a mathematical model to convert the electromagnetic field obtained by solving Maxwell's equations into heat (or temperature distribution)?

Hi, I am trying to simulate the heat generated by gold nanoparticles excited by light. I have found some researchers solve this problem by solving Maxwell's equation and the results are the...

fatal error

When I tried to energy minimization my system, I got fatal error as below. Fatal error: Atomtype opls_116 not found Although I've already added this line: ; include water #include "oplsaa.ff/spc.itp" to [molecultype] directive in my topology.
