From a glass of water to glaciers in Antarctica, water–air and ice–air interfaces are abundant
on Earth. Molecular-level structure and dynamics at these interfaces are key for …

Insights into the microscopic structure and dynamics of the water's hydrogen-bonded
network are crucial to understand the role of water in biology, atmospheric and geochemical …

Water/oxide interfaces are ubiquitous on earth and show significant influence on many
chemical processes. For example, understanding water and solute adsorption as well as …

The water hydrogen-bonded network is strongly perturbed in the first layers in contact with
the semiconductor surface. Even though this aspect influences the outer-sphere electron …

Sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy is a unique and powerful tool for
investigating surfaces and interfaces at the molecular level. Phase-sensitive SFG (PS-SFG) …

Infrared spectroscopy shows that H2 adsorbs heterolytically at the metal–support interface
(MSI) of Au/TiO2 catalysts. This generates stable protonated MSI hydroxyls, which are …

The origin of the sum-frequency generation (SFG) signal of the water bending mode has
been controversially debated in the past decade. Unveiling the origin of the signal is …

We report on a mid-infrared (mid-IR) photothermal spectrometer for liquid-phase samples for
the detection of water in organic solvents, such as ethanol or chloroform, and in complex …

Water at the solid–liquid interface exhibits an anomalous ionic conductivity and dielectric
constant compared to bulk water. Both phenomena still lack a detailed understanding. Here …

It is well-established that strong electric fields (EFs) can align water dipoles, partially order
the H-bond network of liquid water, and induce water splitting and proton transfers. To …
