Although the importance of water interfaces has long been well recognized, studies of the
interfaces at the molecular level only began more recently. 1-3 The difficulty lies in the fact …

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is an electronic absorption technique for which the
initial state is a deeply buried core level. The photon energies corresponding to such …

Existing texts on the statistical mechanics of liquids treat only spherical molecules. However,
nearly all fluids of practical interest are composed of non-spherical molecules that are often …

A strong temperature dependence of oxygen K-edge x-ray absorption fine structure features
was observed for supercooled and normal liquid water droplets prepared from the breakup …

Interactions between gas-phase molecules and liquids play an important role in a wide
range of natural and industrial processes. In photosynthesis, gas-phase CO2 diffuses into …

Mechanisms of CaCO3 nucleation from solutions that depend on multistage pathways and
the existence of species far more complex than simple ions or ion pairs have recently been …

We review the spectroscopic techniques and scattering experiments used to probe the
structure of water, and their interpretation using empirical and ab initio models, over the last …

Recent theoretical and experimental studies of evaporation have suggested that on
average, molecules in the higher-energy tail of the Boltzmann distribution are more readily …

Over the past several decades, ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS)
has emerged as a powerful technique for in situ and operando investigations of chemical …

Measurements of the oxygen K-edge X-ray absorption spectrum (XAS) of aqueous sodium
halide solutions demonstrate that ions significantly perturb the electronic structure of …
