Abstract

Where are the solvated electrons in strongly metallic lithium/ammonia solutions? Ab initio simulations show that they are not preferentially localized close to the void centers (red sphere) but accumulate at the void/solvent interface (blue isosurfaces). Furthermore, void formation itself can be reproduced by simply "stretching" pure ammonia, without any unbound electrons.
