Three sets of molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to study the static structure and transport properties of molten AgCl at 1073 K. The first uses the Vashishta-Rahman rigid-ion potential (R-VR). The other two are polarizable ion potentials, which consist of the Vashishta-Rahman (P-VR) or the Born-Mayer (P-BM) rigid-ion potentials to which the anion-induced dipole polarization contributions are added. Both polarized model potentials reproduce well the main features of the structure of molten AgCl, including the characteristic three-peak feature present in the experimental broad principal peak of its total structure factor; this is not present in the R-VR simulations. The two polarized model potentials differ significantly in the way they account for the transport properties of the melt, by the mean square displacements, the velocity correlation functions, self-diffusion coefficients, or the ionic conductivity. In the case of the latter, the experimental result (sigma = 4.7 (Omega.cm)(-1)) is bracketed between the R-VR (sigma = 5.8 (Omega.cm)(-1)) and the P-VR (sigma = 4.0 (Omega.cm)(-1)) values, with the P-BM value (sigma = 1.3 (Omega.cm)(-1)) significantly lower.
