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…
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…
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…
Mechano-freezing of the ambient water
Xi Zhang, Tingting Yan, Bo Zou +1
Raman spectroscopy examination of the 25 deg-C water freezing under compression revealed transition from 1.35 GPa to 0.86 GPa upon ice being formed at continued volume change. The…
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…
Mass-density and Phonon-frequency Relaxation Dynamics of Water and Ice at Cooling
Chang Q. Sun
Coulomb repulsion between the bonding electron pair in the H-O covalent bond (denoted by "-") and the nonbonding electron pair of O (":") and the specific-heat disparity between th…
