Collective Electronic Polarization Drives Charge Asymmetry at Oil-Water Interfaces

Abstract: Why kinetically stable oil droplets in water spontaneously acquire a negative charge remains one of the most vigorously debated questions in interfacial science. Here, we combine neural-network based deep potential molecular dynamics with a data-driven and information theory approach to probe the real-space electron density at an extended decane-water interface. While decane-water clusters show nearly symmetric forward and backward charge transfer (CT) and thus negligible net CT, the extended interface displays a systematic electronic asymmetry, yielding a net CT from water to the hydrocarbon phase producing an average surface charge density of $\sim0.006~e^{-}\,\mathrm{nm}^{-2}$ on the oil phase. This imbalance is accompanied by much larger intra-phase self-polarization, particularly within the hydrocarbon phase, demonstrating that collective many-body polarization dominates the interfacial electronic response. Structural analysis reveals an asymmetry between forward C--H$\cdots$O and backward O--H$\cdots$C motifs, providing a microscopic origin for a net CT from one phase to the other. Curiously, both the water O--H and decane C--H covalent bonds incur subtle contractions which originate from a response to the charge-separation layers at the interface. These features are fully consistent with the weak improper hydrogen-bonds forming at the oil-water interface that results in blue-shifts of the C-H modes.

Pressure beneath a periodic travelling water-wave in constant-vorticity flow over a flat bed

Abstract: We investigate within the framework of linear theory the behaviour of the total (hydrodynamic) pressure and of the dynamic pressure in a regular wave train which propagates at the surface of water with a flat bed in a flow with constant vorticity. We show that nonzero vorticity, the hallmark of a non-uniform underlying current, may strongly alter the behaviour with respect to the case of irrotational flows, for which the maximum and minimum of the dynamic pressure always occur at the wave crest and at the wave trough, respectively (the extrema of the dynamic pressure may occur along the flat bed or along the critical level, depending on the vorticity strength). While vorticity does not modify the increase of the hydrodynamic pressure with depth, it can significantly alter the location of the extrema of the hydrodynamic pressure at a fixed depth level.
