abstract = {Temperature gradients often cause the separation of the
components in liquid mixtures by a process called
thermodiffusion and quantified by the Soret coefficient. In
recent years, the existence of minima in the Soret
coefficient as a function of concentration has been
investigated by experiments and simulations for various
aqueous salt solutions. In this paper, we analyze the data
of ten 1 : 1 electrolytes (lithium, sodium and potassium
chloride, lithium, sodium and potassium iodide, potassium
acetate, sodium and potassium thiocyanate and guanidinium
chloride) in water, together with those of newly measured
Soret coefficients for aqueous cesium iodide solutions. The
latter were measured in the temperature range between 15 °C
and 45 °C and concentrations between 0.5 and 3 moles per kg
of the solvent using thermal diffusion forced Rayleigh
scattering. We analyze the data by expressing the Soret
coefficients as products of two factors, one purely
thermodynamic factor and one being the ratio of two Onsager
coefficients. It turns out that the ratio of Onsager
coefficients is the main factor responsible for the
non-monotonic behavior of the Soret coefficients, contrary
to recent findings using computer simulations of binary
Lennard-Jones mixtures. Moreover, for salts with the same
anion, we find that the thermodynamic factors increase with
increasing Pauling radii of the cations, while the Onsager
ratios increase monotonically with the radii of the hydrated
cations.},
