TLDR
In this paper, a detailed comparison with THz time domain spectroscopy demonstrates that the reorientational dynamics responsible for the long time tail of the Kerr response are due to single molecule as opposed to collective effects.Abstract:
The ultrafast optical Kerr-response of water and heavy water has been measured at 1 bar in the temperature range between 273 and 373 K. The nuclear Kerr response of the liquid exhibits a pronounced double exponential decay on longer time scales after dephasing of impulsively perturbed acoustic modes is completed. The time constant, τ2, characterizing the slowly decaying exponential component of the Kerr-response function is in quantitative agreement with rotational diffusion time constants of the water molecules obtained form nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin-lattice relaxation rates. A detailed comparison with THz time domain spectroscopy demonstrates that the reorientational dynamics responsible for the long time tail of the Kerr response are due to single molecule as opposed to collective effects. Furthermore, a good agreement between the single molecule rotational diffusion and the Stokes–Einstein–Debye equation is found in the temperature range of thermodynamic stability of the liquid. The time constant, τ1, characterizing the fast exponential component of the Kerr-response of water is found to be in qualitative agreement with central Lorentzian linewidths obtained from frequency-domain, depolarized Raman scattering experiments. The temperature dependence of τ2 does not follow an Arrhenius-type behavior, which was previously taken as evidence for thermally activated crossing of a librational barrier with concomitant hydrogen-bond breakage. Instead, the temperature dependence of the fast relaxation time constant can be represented adequately by the Speedy–Angell relation which has been shown to accurately describe a number of transport parameters and thermodynamic properties of water.read more

A molecular jump mechanism of water reorientation.
TL;DR: Using numerical simulations, support is found for a pathway in which the rotating water molecule breaks a hydrogen bond with an overcoordinated first-shell neighbor to form an H-bond with an undercoordinated second- shell neighbor.

TL;DR: A test is proposed in which 17 properties of water, from the vapour and liquid to the solid phases, are taken into account to evaluate the performance of a water model, being quantitative and selecting properties from all phases of water can be useful in the future to identify progress in the modelling of water.

Vibrational Spectroscopy as a Probe of Structure and Dynamics in Liquid Water
Huib J. Bakker,James L. Skinner +1 more
TL;DR: Water is, of course, a fascinating and important substance, but for such a simple molecule, its condensed phase properties are surprisingly complex: the many different solid phases, the higher density of the liquid as compared to ice Ih, and the density maximum in the liquid phase.

Competing quantum effects in the dynamics of a flexible water model
TL;DR: A new simple point charge model for liquid water, q-TIP4P/F, is introduced, in which the O-H stretches are described by Morse-type functions, and it is found that quantum mechanical fluctuations increase the rates of translational diffusion and orientational relaxation in the model by a factor of around 1.15.

On the molecular mechanism of water reorientation.
Damien Laage,James T. Hynes +1 more
TL;DR: The water re orientation is shown to occur through large-amplitude angular jumps due to the exchange of hydrogen (H)-bond acceptors, with a minor contribution from the diffusive H-bond frame reorientation between these exchanges.

Improved simulation of liquid water by molecular dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, a four-charge model for each molecule and a modification of the prior ''BNS'' interaction was proposed to improve the fidelity of the molecular dynamics simulation, leading to a density maximum near 27°C for the liquid in coexistence with its vapor and to molecular distribution functions in better agreement with x-ray scattering experiments.
