The study found that the relationship between rotational and translational diffusion of water is broken near the TiO2 surface, with rotational diffusion progressively slowing down. This decoupling phenomenon, previously observed only in supercooled liquids approaching glass transition, has important implications for understanding water interaction with fully hydrated nanoparticles.
We report an ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulation investigating the effect of a fully hydrated surface of TiO2 on the water dynamics. It is found that the universal relation between the rotational and translational diffusion characteristics of bulk water is broken in the water layers near the surface with the rotational diffusion demonstrating progressive retardation relative to the translational diffusion when approaching the surface. This kind of rotation-translation decoupling has so far only been observed in the supercooled liquids approaching glass transition, and its observation in water at a normal liquid temperature is of conceptual interest. This finding is also of interest for the application-significant studies of the water interaction with fully hydrated nanoparticles. We note that this is the first observation of rotation-translation decoupling in an ab initio MD simulation of water.
