abstract

  • Using molecular dynamics simulation, we show direct evidence of the unexpected phenomenon of "water that does not wet a water monolayer" at room temperature. This phenomenon is attributed to the structure of the water beneath the water droplet, which exhibits an ordered water monolayer. Remarkably, there remains a considerable number of dangling OH bonds in this room temperature water monolayer, in contrast with the absence of dangling OH bonds at cryogenic temperature. © 2009 The American Physical Society.
