The interaction of water vapor with hydrophobic surfaces is poorly understood. We utilize
graphene templating to preserve and visualize the microscopic structures of adsorbed water …

Although graphitic materials were thought to be hydrophobic, recent experimental results
based on contact angle measurements show that the hydrophobicity of graphitic surfaces …

We demonstrate that water is almost universally present on apparently dry self-assembled
monolayers, even on those considered almost hydrophobic by conventional methods such …

Molecular-scale understanding and manipulation of the wetting behavior of water on solids
remains a fundamental challenge. Using diamond as a model system, we show that the …

Hydration layers are formed on hydrophilic crystalline surfaces immersed in water. Their
existence has also been predicted for hydrophobic surfaces, yet the experimental evidence …

Conspectus The interface between water and other materials under ambient conditions is of
fundamental importance due to its relevance in daily life and a broad range of scientific …

We have examined the nanoscale adsorption of molecular water under ambient conditions
onto a series of well-characterized functionalized surfaces produced by Cu (I)-catalyzed …

We study interfacial water trapped between a sheet of graphene and a muscovite (mica)
surface using Raman spectroscopy and ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy …

The structure of water confined in nanometer-sized cavities is important because, at this
scale, a large fraction of hydrogen bonds can be perturbed by interaction with the confining …

The local structure of water near hydrophobic surfaces of different surface topographies has
been analyzed by molecular dynamics simulation. An alkane crystal has been taken as the …
