Interfaces Govern Structure of Angstrom-scale Confined Water
Yongkang Wang, Fujie Tang, Xiaoqing Yu +6
Water plays a crucial role in geological, biological, and technological processes. Nanoscale water confinement occurs in many of these settings, including sedimentary rocks, water…
Surface-specific vibrational spectroscopy of interfacial water reveals large pH change near graphene electrode at low current densities
Yongkang Wang, Takakazu Seki, Xuan Liu +8
Molecular-level insight into interfacial water at buried electrode interfaces is essential in elucidating many phenomena of electrochemistry, but spectroscopic probing of the burie…
The Surface of Electrolyte Solutions is Stratified
Yair Litman, Kuo-Yang Chiang, Takakazu Seki +2
The distribution of ions at the air/water interface plays a decisive role in many natural processes. It is generally understood that polarizable ions with low charge density are su…
Self-Healing Behavior of Ice
Menno Demmenie, Paul Kolpakov, Yuki Nagata +2
We show that the surface of ice is self-healing: micrometer deep scratches in the ice surface spontaneously disappear by relaxation on a time scale of roughly an hour. Following th…
Both Inter- and Intramolecular Coupling of O-H Groups Determine the Vibrational Response of the Water/Air Interface
Jan Schaefer, Ellen H. G. Backus, Yuki Nagata +1
Vibrational coupling is relevant not only for dissipation of excess energy after chemical reactions but also for elucidating molecular structure and dynamics. It is particularly im…
Surface Tension of Ab Initio Liquid Water at the Water-Air Interface
Yuki Nagata, Tatsuhiko Ohto, Mischa Bonn +1
We report calculations of the surface tension of the water-air interface using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. We investigate the simulation cell size dependence o…
