How water meets a hydrophobic surface.
Synchrotron x-ray reflectivity measurements of the interface between water and methyl-terminated octadecylsilane monolayers with stable contact angle >100 degrees conclusively show a depletion layer, whether or not the water is degassed. The thickness is of order one water molecule: 2-4 Angstrom with electron density <40% that of bulk water. Considerations of coherent and incoherent averaging o...
متن کاملHow water meets a very hydrophobic surface.
Is there a low-density region ("gap") between water and a hydrophobic surface? Previous x-ray and neutron reflectivity results have been inconsistent because the effect (if any) is subresolution for the surfaces studied. We have used x-ray reflectivity to probe the interface between water and more hydrophobic smooth surfaces. The depleted region width increases with contact angle and becomes la...
متن کاملUnderstanding how organic solvent polarity affects water structure and bonding at halocarbon–water interfaces
Vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy (VSFS) is employed here to study the bonding and structure of water molecules at the mixed halocarbon–water interface. Mixtures of non-polar CCl4 with more polar solvents CHCl3, dichloromethane (DCM), and 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) are used to vary the polarity of the organic phase. The OH stretching modes of interfacial water molecules are used to character...
متن کاملHow the Nonextensivity Parameter Affects Energy Fluctuations
In this article, the effect of the nonextensivity parameter on the energy fluctuations of nonextensive systems is studied in two different versions of the Tsallis statistical mechanics. Once a general expression has been reported for the energy fluctuations in the second version (Tsallis work in 1988), the energy fluctuations of an ideal gas and a harmonic oscillator are studied in the second a...
متن کاملRotational structure of water in a hydrophobic environment: carbon tetrachloride.
Infrared spectroscopy has been used to probe the interaction between water and the hydrophobic solvent, carbon tetrachloride. At room temperature, water exists as monomers in carbon tetrachloride, presenting a system for studying the rotational properties of water free of strong hydrogen-bonding. The rotational structure suggests a very anisotropic motion consisting of essentially free rotation...
