Charge transfer between water molecules as the possible origin of the observed charging at the surface of pure water

Classical molecular dynamics simulations point to an anisotropy of water-water hydrogen bonding at the water surface. Approaching from the gas phase, a region of primarily dangling hydrogens is followed by dangling oxygens before the isotropic bulk region. Using ab initio calculations, we translate...
