Ab initio spectroscopy of water under electric fields
Literature Information
Giuseppe Cassone, Jiri Sponer, Sebastiano Trusso, Franz Saija
Whereas a broad range of literature exists on the spectroscopy of water in disparate conditions, infrared (IR) and Raman spectra of water subjected to electric fields have never extensively been investigated so far. Based on ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, here we present IR and Raman spectra of bulk liquid water under the effect of static electric fields. A contraction of the entire frequency range is recorded upon increasing the field intensity both in the IR and in the Raman spectra. Whilst the OH stretching band is progressively shifted toward lower frequencies – indicating a field-induced strengthening of the H-bond network – all the other bands are up-shifted by the field. Furthermore, an evident modification of the librational mode band appears in all the spectra. Finally, the order-maker action of the field emerges also from the increase of the water orientational tetrahedral order. Upon field exposure, the water structure becomes more “ice like”.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
