TL;DR: The growth of crystalline water films on Pt(111) is investigated using rare gas physisorption, and results are consistent with recent theory and experiments suggesting that the molecules in the water monolayer form a surface with no dangling OH bonds or lone pair electrons, giving rise to a hydrophobic water Monolayer.

TL;DR: The results show that the two-layer ice forms even at zero pressure at a single hydrophobic interface by maximizing the number of hydrogen bonds at the expense of adopting a nontetrahedral geometry with weakened hydrogen bonds.

TL;DR: The effect of an oxide interface on 60Co gamma radiolysis of water molecules was studied in this paper, where all the tested materials can be generally classified into three groups: (1) Oxides that lower the H2 yield (MnO2, Co3O4, CuO, and Fe2O3); (2) ODEs with high H2 yields that are close to G values obtained in control experiments (MgO, CaO, SrO, BaO, ZnO, CdO, NiO, Cr2O

TL;DR: In this paper, the kinetics of laser-stimulated luminescence (LSL) of yttria-stabilized cubic zirconia single crystals are investigated.
