It also discusses the scientific popularization and quantitative resolution of a variety of mysterious properties of water and ice from the perspective of hydrogen-bond cooperativity in response to stimuli such as chemical contamination, electrification, magnetification, mechanical compression, molecular undercoordination, and thermal excitation. Anomalies include the floating of ice, the Hofmeister effect in solutions, regelation of ice, slipperiness of ice, water's tough skin, the Mpemba paradox, and the floating bridge. It also addresses the superfluidity of microchannels, hydrogen bond potentials, nanodroplet and bubble thermodynamics, quasisolidity and supersolidity, controlling superhydrophobicitysuperhydrophilicity transition, and high-pressure ice formation. The target audience for this book includes students, senior scholars, engineers and practitioners in the area of physical chemistry,biology, as well as aqueous and colloid solutions.
Features the latest progress and future trends in water science and technology Narrates the historical background and the quantitative resolution of multiple mysteries Reinforces principles of hydrogen bond adaptivity, cooperativity, recoverability, and sensitivity Correlates anomalies of water and ice to the O:H-O bondelectronphonon relaxation dynamics Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Autorentext
Dr. Chang Q Sun received a BSc in 1982 from Wuhan University of Science and Technology and an MSc in 1987 from Tianjin University, China. He completed his PhD in 1997 at Murdoch University, Australia and then joined Nanyang Technological University in 1997 as a faculty up to date. His original contributions to the advancement of coordination bond and electronic engineering with multiple breakthroughs include: 1) bond-band-barrier (3B) correlation for C, N, O chemisorption 3B dynamics; 2) hydrogen-bond asymmetric relaxation & H2O anomalies; 3) bond-order-length-strength (BOLS) correlation for the physical chemistry of defect, surface and nanosolid; 4) nonbonding electron polarization (NEP) at undercoordinated sites; 5) local-bond-average approach for solid meso-mechano-thermo dynamics; 6) BOLS-TB algorithm for edge states discrimination; 7) zone-selective photoelectron spectroscopic (ZPS) purification of bonds & electrons associated with undercoordinated defect and surface atoms and hetero-coordinated interfaces; 8) Raman quantification of the length, energy, compressibility, Debye temperature, force constant & relaxation dynamics of bonds; 9) STM/S/VLEED quantification of 4-stage Cu3O2 bonding kinetics; & 10) functional materials devise, etc. Dr. Sun has published over 250 principally-authored journal articles, 4 book chapters, 4 patents and 10 themed reports in Surface Science Reports, Chemical Reviews, Progress in Materials Science and Progress in Solid State Chemistry. etc. His BOLS theory has been adopted as teaching materials by institutes in multiple nations. He was conferred the First Laureate of the 25th Khwarizmi International Science Award in 2012 and the Inaugural Nanyang Award of Research in 2005. He was elected as Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC, 2006) and the Institute of Physics (FInstP, 2007). He is currently on the Editorial Advisory Board for 8 journals and holding honorary appointments at multiple institutions.
