Journal ArticleDOI
A 'first principles' potential energy surface for liquid water from VRT spectroscopy of water clusters.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results of gas phase cluster and liquid water simulations from the recently determined VRT(ASP-W)III water dimer potential energy surface (the third fitting of the Anisotropic Site Potential with Woermer dispersion to vibration-rotation-tunnelling data).
Elucidating the Role of Many-Body Forces in Liquid Water. I. Simulations of Water Clusters on the VRT (ASP-W) Potential Surfaces
Nir Goldman,Richard J. Saykally +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Diffusion Quantum Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the vibrational ground-state properties of water clusters, and compared the results from VRT(ASP-W)II and III to those from the original ASP-W potential, the SAPT5s potential, and several bulk water potentials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Building solutions: One molecule at a time
TL;DR: Theoretical and spectroscopic studies of small water clusters have yielded important insights into the structural and dynamic properties of water and aqueous solutions as mentioned in this paper, which may shed light on processes not only in bulk liquid water but also the atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared laser spectroscopy of uracil in a pulsed slit jet
TL;DR: In this article, a new high-temperature pulsed slit jet source has enabled the first observation of a rotationally resolved vibrational spectrum of a nucleotide base, centered at 1703.888 cm−1, which has been assigned to the fundamental out-of-phase mixed carbonyl stretching vibration of the diketo tautomer of uracil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser magnetic resonance rotational spectroscopy of 2Σ radicals: Ethynyl (CCH)
TL;DR: In this paper, the first terrestrial measurement of the free ethynyl radical (CCH) made by far-infrared laser magnetic resonance was described, and a theoretical formalism for the prediction and analysis of such weakly coupled 2Σ states is presented, in which frequencies, linewidths, and intensities of all transitions are computed as a function of magnetic flux density.
