Liquid water as a lone-pair amorphous semiconductor
Abstract
We approximate liquid water as a lone-pair amorphous semiconductor. Since electronic orbital times are short compared to the periods of atomic and molecular motion, properties dependent on electronic states can be interpreted to determine short-time intermediate range order. An anomalous temperature dependence of the Urbach exponential absorption edge for intramolecular electronic excitation is noted and interpreted in terms of the perturbation of the lone-pair valence band by hydrogen bonding. The extrinsic optical absorptions with I− and Br− doped water are observed to have Urbach tails. An approximate electronic band structure for pure and doped liquid water is presented.

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.
