Microscopic understanding of ion solvation in water
Rui Shi, Anthony J. Cooper, Hajime Tanaka
Solvation of ions is ubiquitous on our planet. Solvated ions have a profound effect on the behavior of ionic solutions, which is crucial in nature and technology. Experimentally, i…

Distinct signature of two local structural motifs of liquid water in the scattering function
Rui Shi, Hajime Tanaka
Liquids generally become more ordered upon cooling. However, it has been a long-standing debate on whether such structural ordering in liquid water takes place continuously or disc…

Crystalline clusters in mW water: stability, growth, and grain boundaries
Fabio Leoni, Rui Shi, Hajime Tanaka +1
With numerical simulations of the mW model of water, we investigate the energetic stability of crystalline clusters for both Ice I (cubic and hexagonal ice) and for the metastable…
