Water Molecule Dipole in the Gas and in the Liquid Phase

Silvestrelli, Pier Luigi, Parrinello, Michele·1999·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

We study with ab initio molecular dynamics the change that the electric dipole moment of water molecules undergoes in passing from the gas to the liquid phase. Our analysis is based on the recently introduced maximally localized Wannier functions and is devoid of the ambiguities that have affected previous attempts. We find that in the liquid the dipole moment has an average value of about 3 D, 60% higher than in the gas phase. This value is much larger than is currently assumed (2.6 D). Furthermore, a broad distribution around this average value is observed. The relevance of these results for current modeling of water is 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.
