A possibility for molecular-nuclear transitions to occur was recently predicted for some few-atomic systems. Among others, the molecule of ordinary water was shown to be a candidate for this effect due to a presence of (1-, 4.522 MeV)…

The probability of nuclear transitions $p+p+{}^{16}{O} \, \rightarrow \, {}^{18}{Ne}\, (4.522,1^-)$ in molecular water is estimated. Due to the practically exact agreement of the energy of the $Ne$ resonance and of the $p+p+{}^{16}{O}$…

This paper reports results from a search for single and multi-nucleon disappearance from the $^{16}$O nucleus in water within the \snoplus{} detector using all of the available data. These so-called "invisible" decays do not directly…

The water molecule occurs in two nuclear-spin isomers that differ by the value of the total nuclear spin of the hydrogen atoms, i.e., $I=0$ for para-H$_2$O and $I=1$ for ortho-H$_2$O. Spectroscopic transitions between rovibrational states…

The past decade or so has witnessed a large number of articles about water structure. The most incisive experiments involve radiation with a wavelength compatible with the observed inter-molecular separations found in water, of order $\sim…

Isotopic substitution, which can be realized both in experiment and computer simulations, is a direct approach to assess the role of nuclear quantum effects on the structure and dynamics of matter. Yet, the impact of nuclear quantum effects…

Corrections for nuclear quantum effects (NQE) have been calculated for classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation models of light (H2O), heavy (D2O) and null (H1.28D0.72O) water. New path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) simulations…

Recently, X.Ma et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 027402 (2017)] have suggested that water molecules encapsulated in (6,5) single-wall carbon nanotube experience a temperature-induced quasiphase transition around 150 K interpreted as changes in…

Supercooled water is expected to exhibit a liquid--liquid phase transition between low- and high-density liquid states, possibly terminating in a liquid--liquid critical point in the experimentally difficult no man's land. Because the…

Based on quantum-mechanical path-integral molecular dynamics simulations the impact of nuclear quantum effects on the vibrational and hydrogen bond dynamics in liquid water is investigated. The instantaneous fluctuations in the frequencies…

We have applied path integral molecular dynamics simulations to investigate nuclear quantum effects on the vibrational dynamics of water molecules at the water-air interface. The instantaneous fluctuations in the frequencies of the O-H…

This paper reports results from a search for nucleon decay through 'invisible' modes, where no visible energy is directly deposited during the decay itself, during the initial water phase of SNO+. However, such decays within the oxygen…

Since 2003 the NEMO~3 experiment has been searching for neutrinoless double beta decay using about 10 kg of enriched isotopes. A limit of T_(1/2)(0nu) > 5.8 10**23 years at 90 % CL has been obtained for 100-Mo from the first two years of…

Various condensed phases of water, spanning from the liquid state to multiple ice phases, have been systematically investigated under extreme conditions of pressure and temperature to delineate their stability boundaries. This study focuses…

Because of their central importance in chemistry and biology, water molecules have been the subject of decades of intense spectroscopic investigations. Rotational spectroscopy of water vapor has yielded detailed information about the…

$^{1}$H spin-lattice nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation experiments have been performed for water dispersions of functionalized silica nanoparticles of diameters of 25 and 45 nm. The experiments have been performed in a broad…

We present the statistical method as a direct extension of the mean first-passage time concept to the analysis of molecular dynamics simulation data of a phase transformation. According to the method, the mean first-passage time…

Positron lifetime spectra were measured in liquid water at temperatures between 0c and 50c. The long lifetime of ortho-positronium atoms (o-Ps) determined by electron pick-off in molecular substances decreases smoothly by 10% as the…

The double beta decay experiment NEMO~3 has been taking data since February 2003. The aim of this experiment is to search for neutrinoless decay and investigate two neutrino double beta decay in seven different enriched isotopes…

The half-life for double beta decay of 150-Nd has been measured by the NEMO-3 experiment at the Modane Underground Laboratory. Using 924.7 days of data recorded with 36.55 g of 150-Nd the half-life for 2nubb decay is measured to be…
