The electric double layer governs the processes of all charged surfaces in aqueous
solutions; however, elucidating the structure of the water molecules is challenging for even …

We recently demonstrated via experiments in hydrogels and at a single air-water interface
the photomolecular effect: photons directly cleaving off water molecular clusters in the visible …

When sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy is applied to charged solid/liquid
interfaces, the observed SFG signals include both the second-order and third-order …

Second harmonic generation amplitude and phase measurements are acquired in real time
from fused silica: water interfaces that are subjected to ionic strength transitions conducted …

The electrical double layer (EDL) at the amorphous silica–aqueous electrolyte interface is of
long-standing scientific interest and current technological relevance. Using extensive …

We define the dielectric constant (susceptibility) that should enter the Maxwell boundary
value problem when applied to microscopic dielectric interfaces polarized by external fields …

The dipolar susceptibility of interfacial water and the corresponding interface dielectric
constant were calculated from numerical molecular dynamics simulations for neutral and …

Droplet spreading at an applied voltage underlies the function of tunable optical devices
including adjustable lenses and matrix display elements. Faster response and the enhanced …

We present a formalism for the calculation of interfacial dielectric constant of hydration shells
of proteins from configurations produced by atomistic numerical simulations. The theoretical …

The basic continuum model for polar fluids is deceptively simple. The free energy integral
consists of four terms: the coupling of polarisation to an external field, the electrostatic …
