Femtosecond Mid-IR Pump-Probe Spectroscopy of Liquid Water: Evidence for a Two-Component Structure

Woutersen, S., Emmerichs, U., Bakker, H. J.·1997·Science

Abstract

A femtosecond mid-infrared pump-probe study of the vibrational and orientational dynamics of the OH-stretching mode of HDO dissolved in D 2 O is presented. The orientational relaxation of the HDO molecules was observed to occur on either a very slow or a very fast time scale, with associated time constants of τ R = 13 picoseconds and τ R = 0.7 picosecond. It was observed that strongly hydrogen-bonded water molecules only relax through the slow orientational relaxation process, whereas the fast process dominates for weakly hydrogen-bonded molecules. This suggests that, with respect to orientional dynamics, two distinct molecular species exist in liquid water.

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.
