Understanding the anomalously low dielectric constant of confined water: an ab initio study

Thomas Dufils, Christoph Schran, Ji Chen +3

Recent experiments have shown that the out-of-plane dielectric constant of water confined in nanoslits of graphite and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is vanishingly small. Despite e…

Crumbling Crystals: On the Dissolution Mechanism of NaCl in Water

Niamh O'Neill, Christoph Schran, Stephen J. Cox +1

Life on Earth depends upon the dissolution of ionic salts in water, particularly NaCl. However, an atomistic scale understanding of the process remains elusive. Simulations lend th…

The quantum nature of hydrogen

Wei Fang, Ji Chen, Yexin Feng +2

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It is also the lightest and as such the most quantum of the elements, in the sense that quantum tunnelling, quantum delocalis…

Ice is Born in Low-Mobility Regions of Supercooled Liquid Water

Martin Fitzner, Gabriele C. Sosso, Stephen J. Cox +1

When an ice crystal is born from liquid water two key changes occur: (i) the molecules order; and (ii) the mobility of the molecules drops as they adopt their lattice positions. Mo…
