Lire la suite >Structural organization and vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) spectra of water on crystalline and amorphous neutral silica surfaces were investigated by classical molecular dynamics simulations. The liquid phase represented with neat water and 1 M NaCl solution was analysed in terms of bonded interfacial layer (BIL), diffuse layer (DL) and bulk region. The simulations show that the structure of BIL depends on the surface morphology and density of surface OH groups. The water–silanol H-bond network and BIL structure are mainly insensitive to the presence of ions in the liquid phase. Molecules in DL of SiO2/neat water interfaces preferentially orient their OH bonds towards the surfaces. This effect is directly related to an effective negative charge of formally neutral surfaces. Ions of the electrolyte solution affect the intermolecular structure in DL by screening the surface electric field and by the chaotropic effect. Calculated phase-sensitive VSFG (Im[χ(2)]) spectrum of BIL features low-frequency negative and high-frequency positive bands. Characteristics of the positive band reflect the strength of water–surface interactions and surface crystallinity, while the position and shape of the negative band are common to all interfaces. The Im[χ(2)] spectrum of DL is dominated by a contribution from the third-order χ(3) susceptibility with the sign of the contribution directly related to the sign of electrostatic potential in the interfacial region. The DL spectrum is strongly affected by the presence of solvated ions. The computed intensity and Im[χ(2)] spectra of the amorphous silica/NaCl solution interface are in a good agreement with the conventional and phase-sensitive experimental VSFG spectra of fused SiO2/water system at low pH, in contrast to the spectra of the amorphous silica/neat water interface. Origins of the discrepancy are discussed.Lire moins >
