Abstract
The long-range order in strongly coupled dipolar systems has been studied using large-scale simulations for systems containing up to 100 000 particles. It is found that the boundary conditions used strongly influence the result. It is found that a periodic system modeled with the minimum image approximation yields an artificial order, whereas the same system described using the Ewald summation technique is slightly less long-range ordered, as compared to the results obtained from studies on a non-periodical spherical droplet. Analytical expressions together with scaling considerations suggest that dipolar systems are structured on all length scales. However, more extensive studies are needed to fully assess the impact of using different boundary conditions on the long-range structure of polar liquids.
