Water is the most abundant, fundamental and important matter in nature. Arguably it is also the material that human beings study the most but misunderstand the most. Compared with the environmental science and engineering research activities on water resources, water pollution and water usage closely related to social problems at the macro level, basic scientific research on water at the molecular level has just emerged, the impact of which is not fully recognized yet. This book is devoted to introducing some important advances in the field of basic water science in past decades, with a particular emphasis on recent results on water and the interactions between water and solid surfaces at the molecular level. Starting from introducing concepts and popular theoretical and experimental methods for basic water research, this book mainly focuses on the atomic composition, electronic structure, and physicochemical properties of water molecules, water clusters and water layers (including surface water layers and water surface layers), rules for water adsorption on metals, oxides, and other typical solid surfaces such as salt, as well as the microscopic processes and mechanisms of water diffusion, wetting, decomposition and phase transformations under a variety of conditions. It is a good reference book for students and researchers in water-related science.Atomic structureMolecular structureSurfaces (Physics)MicroclustersCondensed matterQuantum theoryQuantum statisticsAtomic and Molecular Structure and PropertiesSurface and Interface and Thin FilmAtomic and Molecular ClustersPhase Transition and Critical PhenomenaAtom and Molecule Optics and InterferometryQuantum Gases and CondensatesAtomic structure.Molecular structure.Surfaces (Physics)Microclusters.Condensed matter.Quantum theory.Quantum statistics.Atomic and Molecular Structure and Properties.Surface and Interface and Thin Film.Atomic and Molecular Clusters.Phase Transition and Critical Phenomena.Atom and Molecule Optics and Interferometry.Quantum Gases and Condensates.551.48Meng Sheng1369233Wang EngeMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910731472303321Water3395280UNINA
