Collective Electronic Polarization Drives Charge Asymmetry at Oil-Water Interfaces
Gabriele Amante, Klaudia Mrazikova, Gabriele Centi +3
Why kinetically stable oil droplets in water spontaneously acquire a negative charge remains one of the most vigorously debated questions in interfacial science. Here, we combine n…
Ion-induced transient potential fluctuations facilitate pore formation and cation transport through lipid membranes
David Roesel, Maksim Eremchev, Chetan S. Poojari +2
Unassisted ion transport through lipid membranes plays a crucial role in many cell functions without which life would not be possible, yet the precise mechanism behind the process…
3D confinement of water: H2O exhibits long-range (> 50 nm) structure while D2O does not
N. Dupertuis, O. B. Tarun, C. Lütgebaucks +1
Water is the liquid of life, thanks to its three-dimensional adaptive hydrogen (H)-bond network. Confinement of this network may lead to dramatic structural changes that influence…
Charge gradients around dendritic voids cause nanoscale inhomogeneities in liquid water
Tereza Schonfeldova, Nathan Dupertuis, Yixing Chen +5
Water is the matrix of life and is generally considered a homogeneous, uniform, liquid. Recent experiments report that water is instead a two-state liquid. However, subsequently, t…
Liquid-activated quantum emission from pristine hexagonal boron nitride for nanofluidic sensing
Nathan Ronceray, Yi You, Evgenii Glushkov +12
Liquids confined down to the atomic scale can show radically new properties. However, only indirect and ensemble measurements operate in such extreme confinement, calling for novel…
Vibrational sum frequency scattering in absorptive media: A theoretical case study of nano-objects water
Sergey Kulik, Saranya Pullanchery, Sylvie Roke
The structures of interfaces of nano- and microscale objects in aqueous solution are important for a wide variety of physical, chemical and biological processes. Vibrational sum fr…
Optical Imaging of Surface Chemistry and Dynamics in Confinement
Carlos Macias-Romero, Igor Nahalka, Halil I. Okur +1
The interfacial structure and dynamics of water in a microscopically confined geometry is imaged in three dimensions and on millisecond time scales. We developed a 3D wide-field se…
Generalized expressions for hyper-Rayleigh scattering from isotropic liquids
Yixing Chen, Sylvie Roke
Generalized expressions for second harmonic scattering from isotropically distributed liquid molecules are derived for arbitrary scattering angles and polarization states.
Solvent Fluctuations and Nuclear Quantum Effects Modulate the Molecular Hyperpolarizability of Water
Chungwen Liang, Gabriele Tocci, David Wilkins +3
Second-Harmonic Scatteringh (SHS) experiments provide a unique approach to probe non-centrosymmetric environments in aqueous media, from bulk solutions to interfaces, living cells…
Mean-Field Theory of Water-Water Correlations in Electrolyte Solutions
David M. Wilkins, David E. Manolopoulos, Sylvie Roke +1
Long-range ion induced water-water correlations were recently observed in femtosecond elastic second harmonic scattering experiments of electrolyte solutions. To further the qualit…
Second-Harmonic Scattering as a Probe of Structural Correlations in Liquids
Gabriele Tocci, Chungwen Liang, David M. Wilkins +2
Second-harmonic scattering experiments of water and other bulk molecular liquids have long been assumed to be insensitive to interactions between the molecules. The measured intens…
Label-free, Spectroscopic Detection of Leaflet Composition Asymmetry in Vesicles
Matthew L. Strader, Hilton Barbosa de Aguiar, Alex G. F. de Beer +1
Vibrational sum frequency scattering (SFS) has been used to study sub-micron, catanionic vesicles in solution. The vesicles were synthesized from a binary mixture of dodecyltrimeth…
