Thin Film Water
Abstract
Thin film water is ubiquitous. It coats insulators, even ice, under ambient conditions. And the film can have a profound effect on the physical and chemical properties of the substrates it covers. The direct measurement of thin film water by infrared spectroscopy is described. Our studies can reveal film thicknesses, hydrogen bonding networks, thermodynamic properties, and molecular orientations. Recent examples of our research, with the focus on two model substrates, NaCl and ice, are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
