We report a femtosecond time-resolved study of water at the neat water-air interface. The O-H stretch vibrational lifetime of hydrogen-bonded interfacial water is measured using surface-specific 4th-order nonlinear optical spectroscopy with femtosecond infrared pulses. The vibrational lifetime in the frequency range of 3200 to 3500 cm(-1) is found to closely resemble that of bulk water, indicating ultrafast exchange of vibrational energy between surface water molecules and those in the bulk.
我们报告了一项关于纯水-空气界面处水的飞秒时间分辨研究。利用具有飞秒红外脉冲的表面特异性四阶非线性光学光谱,测量了氢键结合的界面水的O-H伸缩振动寿命。发现在3200至3500 cm(-1)频率范围内的振动寿命与体相水的非常相似,这表明表面水分子与体相水分子之间存在超快的振动能量交换。
