The structural origin of anomalous properties of liquid water

A Nilsson, LGM Pettersson - Nature communications, 2015 - nature.com
Water is unique in its number of unusual, often called anomalous, properties. When hot it is
a normal simple liquid; however, close to ambient temperatures properties, such as the …

Slush-like polar structures in single-crystal relaxors

H Takenaka, I Grinberg, S Liu, AM Rappe - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
Despite more than 50 years of investigation, it is still unclear how the underlying structure of
relaxor ferroelectrics gives rise to their defining properties, such as ultrahigh piezoelectric …

Benchmark oxygen-oxygen pair-distribution function of ambient water from x-ray diffraction measurements with a wide Q-range

LB Skinner, C Huang, D Schlesinger… - The Journal of …, 2013 - pubs.aip.org

Understanding water's anomalies with locally favoured structures

J Russo, H Tanaka - Nature communications, 2014 - nature.com
Water is a complex liquid that displays a surprising array of unusual properties, the most
famous being the density maximum at about 4° C. The origin of these anomalies is still a …

The radial distribution functions of water as derived from radiation total scattering experiments: is there anything we can say for sure?

AK Soper - International Scholarly Research Notices, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The present paper reviews the investigation of ambient water structure and focusses in
particular on the determination of the radial distribution functions of water from total …

Machine-learning approach for one-and two-body corrections to density functional theory: Applications to molecular and condensed water
