Title: Magnitude of the electric field at water-hydrophobic interfaces
Plain: Some explanations of fast droplet chemistry need very strong electric fields right at the water surface. Measuring how strong these fields really are would test those explanations.
Precise · changed · core: Revision 1: Determine the mean electric field projected on a probe bond at the water-air and water-oil interfaces at 300 K, from vibrational Stark shifts of interface-specific probes and from ab initio molecular dynamics, and compare with bulk water. The answer is the field magnitude (reported values range up to about $3e4\,\mathrm{statvolt}/\mathrm{cm}$) with its spatial profile across the interface.; Revision 2: Determine the mean electric field projected on a probe bond at the water-air and water-oil interfaces at 300 K, from vibrational Stark shifts of interface-specific probes and from ab initio molecular dynamics, and compare with bulk water. The answer is the field magnitude (reported values range up to about $3 \times 10^{4}\,\mathrm{statvolt}/\mathrm{cm}$) with its spatial profile across the interface.
Settled by: Surface-selective vibrational Stark spectroscopy calibrated against bulk and ab initio simulations with the same probe.
