HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Peter Zalden from the University of Sciences, Shanghai, China have published the article: Molecular polarizability anisotropy of liquid water revealed by terahertz-induced transient orientation, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
- what: The authors use the Kerr effect to determine Δα=αk α?, i.e., the difference of the polarizability along the permanent dipole moment, αk, and the average value perpendicular to it, α?. Given the resulting negative sign of the birefringence Δn=nk n? and amp;lt;0, the authors provide experimental evidence that the polarizability of regular and heavy water molecules in the liquid . . .
