The Stokes-Einstein relation in water/methanol solutions
C Corsaro, E Fazio, D Mallamace - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2019 - pubs.aip.org
The hydrogen bonding ability of both water and methanol, together with the occurrence of
hydrophobic interactions, makes their solutions nonideal. This nonideality is reflected in both …
