Atmospheric ice nucleation is crucial for global precipitation and affects the structure, lifetime
and reflectivity of clouds, thereby impacting climate. Ice nucleates in various ways from …

Pressure has long been recognized as a fundamental thermodynamic variable but its
application was previously limited by the available pressure vessels and probes. The …

Here we present an overview of recent developments of X-ray and electron spectroscopy to
probe water at different temperatures. Photon-induced ionization followed by detection of …

Pressure profoundly alters all states of matter. The symbiotic development of ultrahigh-
pressure diamond anvil cells, to compress samples to sustainable multi-megabar pressures; …

We report on the microscopic structure of water at sub-and supercritical conditions studied
using X-ray Raman spectroscopy, ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, and density …

Here we present a review of X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray Raman scattering with
the perspective to understand the spectra of water including changes with temperature …

Investigating electronic structure and excitations under extreme conditions gives access to a
rich variety of phenomena. High pressure typically induces behavior such as magnetic …

Full understanding of atomic arrangement in amorphous oxides both at ambient and high
pressure is an ongoing fundamental puzzle. Whereas the structures of archetypal oxide …

Spectroscopic techniques to study the electron configuration and local coordination of a
central atom by detecting inner-shell radiative decays following photoexcitation using hard X …

We report the nearest-neighbor oxygen-oxygen radial distribution function (NN O–O RDF) of
room temperature liquid water and polycrystalline ice Ih (− 16.8 C) obtained by x-ray Raman …
