abstract = {Thermal gradients induce a motion of solute molecules
towards hot or cold regions. The motion of solutes in a
solvent inducedby thermal gradient is termed as
thermodiffusion. Soret coefficient ST is used to quantify
the ratio of the established concentrationgradient to the
thermal gradient. This phenomenon being very sensitive to
the nature of solute-solvent interactions , hasgained a lot
of interest in the recent years, especially in the context
of biological interactions. Many solutions of interest
inthermodiffusion or thermophoresis involve aqueous
solutions with ions . To identify the underlying principles,
we systematicallyinvestigate the thermodiffusion of aqueous
alkali halide solutions. There have been previous reports
where the behavior of certainaqueous halide salts under
thermal gradient have been studied and for some salts a
minimum being observed in the ST with saltconcentration . In
this work, we measured the thermodiffusion behavior of salts
(KCl, KBr, KI, NaI and LiI) in water in atemperature range
of 15-45o C, with concentration being varied from 0.5-4
mol/kg by infrared thermal diffusion forced
Rayleighscattering (IR-TDFRS). We find for the iodide salts
a minimum of ST with concentration, while KCl and KBr show
monotonousbehavior. We will discuss the temperature and
concentration dependence of ST using the knowledge how
different salts distortthe hydration layer. Furthermore, our
systematic studies are discussed in context of recent
simulations . These results willhelp to obtain a better
understanding of the thermophoretic response of protein
ligand systems typically studied in buffer
solutionscontaining alkali halides to maintain the
stability.},
