Voids in the H-bonded network of water and their manifestation in the structure factor

The main peak of the oxygen-oxygen structure factor SOO(Q) of water shows an unusual doublet structure and the low-Q feature of this doublet shifts appreciably with pressure. This pressure dependence is cited as evidence of polymorphism in water. This feature is analogous to the `prepeak,' or `...

Shrnutí:The main peak of the oxygen-oxygen structure factor SOO(Q) of water shows an unusual doublet structure and the low-Q feature of this doublet shifts appreciably with pressure. This pressure dependence is cited as evidence of polymorphism in water. This feature is analogous to the `prepeak,' or `first-sharp-diffraction peak' which is well known in network-forming ionic liquids.
