The dynamics of the hydrogen bond network of isotopically substituted liquid water are investigated with a new ultrafast nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy, three-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (3D-IR). The 3D-IR spectroscopy is sensitive to three-point frequency fluctuation correlation functions, and the measurements reveal heterogeneous structural relaxation dynamics. We interpret these results as subensembles of water which do not interconvert on a half picosecond time scale. We connect the experimental results to molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, performing a line shape analysis as well as complex network analysis.
本文利用一种新的超快非线性振动光谱技术——三维红外光谱(3D-IR)研究了同位素取代液态水中氢键网络的动力学。3D-IR 光谱对三点频率波动相关函数敏感,测量结果揭示了非均相结构弛豫动力学。我们将这些结果解释为在半皮秒时间尺度上不相互转化的水亚群。我们将实验结果与分子动力学(MD)模拟联系起来,进行了谱线形状分析和复杂网络分析。
