We review oxygen K-edge X-ray absorption spectra of both molecules and solids. We start
with an overview of the main experimental aspects of oxygen K-edge X-ray absorption …

Here we present an overview of recent developments of X-ray and electron spectroscopy to
probe water at different temperatures. Photon-induced ionization followed by detection of …

X-ray and neutron diffractions, vibrational spectroscopy, and x-ray Raman scattering and
absorption experiments on water are often interpreted in terms of hydrogen bonding. To this …

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is used to demonstrate the presence of density
fluctuations in ambient water on a physical length-scale of≈ 1 nm; this is retained with …

We present a picture that combines discussions regarding the thermodynamic anomalies in
ambient and supercooled water with recent interpretations of X-ray spectroscopy and …

The structure of liquid water is presently under intense debate. We summarize the historical
development of the present description of water and the controversy surrounding the X-ray …

For (H2O) n where n= 1–10, we used a scheme combining molecular dynamics sampling
with high level ab initio calculations to locate the global and many low lying local minima for …

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 …

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 …

An efficient mixed molecular dynamics/quantum mechanics model has been applied to the
water cluster system. The use of the MP2 method and correlation consistent basis sets, with …
