Energy absorbency and phase stability during NaCl solution icing

Yanjun Shen, Xin Wei, Yongzhi Wang +3

NaCl solvation turns the fS portion molecules into the hydrating supersolid phase by ionic polarization and leaves the rest fO portion ordinary. Polarization shortens and stiffens…

What makes an explosion happen?

Chang Q Sun, Chuang Yao, Lei Zhang +1

The presence of the nonbonding XH tension constrains and the presence of the anti or super hydrogen bond fosters the explosion in aqueous alkali and molten alkali halides; the comb…

(H, Li)Br and LiOH Solvation Bonding Dynamics: Molecular Nonbond Interactions and Solute Extraordinary Capabilities

Chang Q Sun

We resolved the hydrogen bond transition from the mode of ordinary water to its hydration in terms of its phonon stiffness (vibration frequency shift), order of fluctuation (line w…

Structures and Anomalies of Water

Chuang Yao, Xi Zhang, Yongli Huang +3

Introduction of the principles of the asymmetrical, short-range O:H-O coupled oscillater pair and the basic rule for water ice, which reconciles the structure and anomalies of wate…

Phonon abundance-stiffness-lifetime transition from the mode of heavy water to its confinement and hydration

Chang Q Sun

A combination of the temporally and spatially resolved phonon spectroscopy has enabled calibration of hydrogen bond transition from the vibration mode of heavy water to the core/sh…

Hydrogen-bond relaxation dynamics: Resolving mysteries of water ice

Yongli Huang, Xi Zhang, Chang Q Sun

We examined O:H-O bond relaxation under compression,heating,molecular undercoordination and claimed a universal resolution to the best-known mysteries of water ice such as ice foat…

A common supersolid low-density skin sliperizing ice and toughening water surface

Xi Zhang, Yongli Huang, Zengsheng Ma +4

Skins of water and ice share the same attribute of supersolidity characterized by the identical H-O vibration frequency of 3450 cm-1. Molecular undercoordination and inter-electron…

A Supersolid Skin Covering both Water and Ice

Chang Q Sun

The mysterious nature and functionality of water and ice skins remain baffling to the community since 1859 when Farady firstly proposed liquid skin lubricating ice. Here we show th…

Mpemba Paradox Revisited -- Numerical Reinforcement

Xi Zhang, Yongli Huang, Zengsheng Ma +1

Inspired by responses to the work (arXiv:1310.6514), we solved the one-dimensional, nonlinear Fourier initial and boundary condition problem using the finite element method. Examin…

O:H-O Bond Anomalous Relaxation Resolving Mpemba Paradox

Xi Zhang, Yongli Huang, Zengsheng Ma +1

We demonstrate that the Mpemba paradox arises intrinsically from the release rate of energy initially stored in the covalent H-O part of the O:H-O bond in water albeit experimental…

Mediation of hydrogen-bond coupling interactions by programmable heating and salting

Xi Zhang, Yongli Huang, Zengsheng Ma +2

We show that programmable heating and salting share the same effect on the frequency shift of the O:H and the H-O stretching phonons of the O:H-O hydrogen bond, which revealed that…

Skin supersolidity slipperizing ice

Xi Zhang, Yongli Huang, a Zengsheng Ma +2

Consistency between theory predictions and measurements and calculations revealed that the skin of ice, containing water molecules with fewer than four neighbours, forms a supersol…

Mass-density and Phonon-frequency Relaxation Dynamics of Under-coordinated Water Molecules

Chang Q. Sun

The interplay between intra-molecular H-O covalent bond contraction, due to molecular under-coordination, and inter-molecular O:H expansion, due to inter-electron pair Coulomb repu…
