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…

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…
