| Abstract | We investigated the structural properties, dynamical behaviors, and vibrational spectra of the water film adsorbed on the Al-terminated alpha-Al2O3(0001) surface using first-principles molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations showed that the structural properties of the water film, such as the mass density, atom number density, orientation order and hydrogen bonds (HBs) of water molecules, are considerably affected by the Al-terminated alpha-Al2O3(0001) surface along its normal direction. A new dissociation 1-4' state via two different indirect and double indirect pathways was proposed, which is slightly more favorable than 1-4 state under the condition of multiple water layers. The blue- and red-shifting of vibrational spectra for different water layers was observed. The interfacial water in various adsorption configurations and its corresponding vibrational spectrum were explicitly identified. The "ice-like" and "liquid-like" peaks of vibrational spectra, which are observed in various experiments of water/hydroxylated alpha-Al2O3(0001) interface, were reproduced in our simulations. Our simulations suggest the "ice-like" peak mostly stems from the surface OH and the interfacial water molecules that experienced more HBs interactions, while the "liquid-like" peak results from the "liquid-like" water molecules. Our study provides novel insights into the complex structures and dynamical behaviors of interfacial water, upon water film adsorbing on the Al-terminated alpha-Al2O3(0001) surface. |
