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…
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…
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…
