Fig. 7

a 2D free energy difference, FPBE − FPBE_r, obtained using ab initio simulations of a 0.68 M NaCl solution at 1000 K and 11 GPa with the PBE functional. PBE_r denotes FPMD the results with O–H bond fixed to 1.0 Å and the positions of CIP and SIP minimum are marked in red. b 1D FESs obtained with (green line) and without (red line) rigid molecules aligned by CIP state.
