Description
The microwave non-thermal effect is still a controversial issue. Here, the influence of weak microwaves on the spatial collision and energy distribution of water molecules is studied by the molecular dynamics simulation. The results show that the polarization of microwaves makes the change of spatial collision and energy distribution. The spatial collision probability of water molecules increases obviously in the direction of electric field and the proportion of high energy molecules decreases while the proportion of intermediate energy molecules increases. This shows the constrains of microwave fields on the water molecules, and these consequences would be helpful to understanding the microwave non-thermal effect and the mechanism of microwaves accelerating chemical reactions.
