Molecularly Perturbed Liquid Water

Wilse G.教授罗宾逊得到了 理论和计算化学程序使用 皮秒激光光谱技术来探测 水的结构和动力学，因为它存在于封闭的 卷 将对界面水进行研究， 水/空气界面，与水接触的水， 亲水性表面和水紧密接近离子。 罗宾逊还将使用荧光探测技术来研究 生物系统中的水，包括离子 通道，膜壁附近和反胶束内。 %%% 这些研究将提供基本的洞察力， 最重要的溶剂水在附近的行为 离子，在相之间的界面处，以及在生物学中， 系统.

Professor Wilse G. Robinson is supported by a grant from the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Program to use picocosecond laser spectroscopic techniques to probe the structure and dynamics of water as it exists in confined volumes. Studies will be conducted on interfacial water at the water/air interface, water in contact with hydrophopic and hydrophilic surfaces, and water in close proximity to ions. Robinson will also use fluorescence probing techniques to study water in biological systems including water contained in ion channels, near membrane walls, and inside reversed micelles. %%% These studies will provide fundamental insight into the behavior of water, the most important solvent, in the vicinity of ions, at interfaces between phases, and in biological systems.
