Motivation The relationship between things in nature, particularly in our environment is implied to be objective, universal, and holistic. It seems to exist the univer- sal relationships and the universal laws behind the richness, the complexity, and the miracles of natural behaviors. These universal natural laws govern and control the physical processes and physical phenomena.
Therefore, they also govern the laws of processes and phenomena in chemistry, biology, etc. People always try to discover the processes and the phenomena of the nat- ural world from many perspectives and by every possible approach. Water is the most studied material on Earth by interdisciplinary science, including physics, chemistry, and biology in such a way. It is well-known that water is the main component of living cell as well as the important solvent in which chemical reactions can happen.
Study of the microdynamic behaviors of the liquid water system related to the interaction between liquid water and EM field is an effective manner to explore several microdynamic behaviors in living cells such as biological information trans- fer, the hydration in biology and chemistry. A careful understanding about the water - EM field interaction is also useful to interpret the dynamical phe- nomena occurring in the ocean, aqueous chemical solution, and biological system. It is difficult to develop application researches in several areas such as food, medical industries, chemical industries, and remote sensing of the ocean without a good knowledge about water microdynamics. There is a great accomplishment with a long history on both the experi- mental and the theoretical sides about water micro dynamics in Vietnam as well as in the world.
However, it is remarkable to find that the microdynamic mechanism responsible for its behavior in relation to the interaction between liquid water system and EM field in different spectrum ranges is not thor- oughly understood. Some explanations of its complex features and behaviors 5 luan an bring a considerable disagreement, needing a further investigation. In ad- dition, many other anomalous properties of water possibly remain to be not discovered. According to the literature, several open topics about micrody- namic behaviors of liquid water for further research could be mentioned in detail as below: A.
The fast sound in liquid water In 1974, using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, A. This simulation work induced a large number of experimental researches such as Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS) [15, 98, 110, 129, 130], Inelastic X-ray Scattering (IXS) [89, 101, 110, 121, 122], or Inelastic Ultraviolet Scattering (IUS) [116]. In addition, several MD simulations [8, 7, 9, 70, 101, 105, 117, 140] were performed to further clarify the origin of these excitations as well as water complicated dynamical features. The most striking result of these INS, IXS, IUS, and MD simulation studies recognized the coexistence of the two collective density oscillation modes traveling in liquid water.
Two different models, the viscoelastic model (or model of structural relaxation) [101, 119] and the two-mode interaction model [98, 110] were given for description and explanation about the existence of both the modes. In the model of structural relaxation, the different collective oscillation modes propagating in liquid water were interpreted in terms of the relaxation time τF (the time associated with breaking and forming of hydrogen bonds) be- ing longer or shorter than the time scale related to the density fluctuations [89, 101, 109]. This model was successfully applied to explain the pres- sure and temperature dependence of several dynamical parameters [78, 101, 109]. The two-mode interaction model consists of two different dispersion branches originated from the idea that the splitting of the lower branch from 6 luan an Fig.
Summarizing about collective density oscillation in liquid water [109]: The open symbols correspond to the prediction in Ref. [126] whereas the full symbols represent INS experimental data in Ref. The solid lines are fitting according to the fast sound (upper) and ordinary sound (lower). the longitudinal one due to the interaction between elementary excitations of linear dispersion mode and those of the dispersionless mode with energy Ω0 (5−6 meV).
It was suggested that the dispersion relations for both the modes traveling in liquid water with the presence of the coupling coefficient β(Q) between each other. Although the two-mode interaction model is a quite sim- ple, it might make clear some observed features of the dynamic spectra and describes quite well the dispersion of both the modes [110]. In spite of such efforts, the physical origin of the fast mode in liquid water and the splitting of the two modes remains poorly understood. It is necessary to conduct a further investigation for a deeper understanding about the complex mechanisms of liquid water dynamics.
The low-frequency dielectric constant of liquid water A. Uriber [3] (2011) pointed out the temperature de- pendence of the water relative permittivity in the region of low frequency 1000 Hz − 1 MHz with an interesting surprise. They found a special point called the isopermittive point at the frequency ωiso where the water dielec- 7 luan an tric constant does not depend on temperature. Rising temperature makes the dielectric constant of liquid water increase at frequencies below ωiso but de- crease at frequencies above ωiso.
This behavior of the dielectric constant for pure water is similar to that of glycerol-water mixtures [4]. Some theoretical models have been suggested to describe the dielectric spectroscopy behavior of water, such as the models of Debye [34], Onsager [92], and Kirkwood [75]. Nevertheless, it is impossible to apply these models to illuminate the dynamical mechanism behind the behavior of the isopermit- tive point because they are only suitable to interpret effects happening in the frequency range above 1 GHz. The dynamical mechanism that is responsi- ble for the existence of the isopermittive point has just been explained by the phenomenological model [3].
Nowadays, there is lacking a theoretical model for the description about the water dielectric dispersion at low frequencies originated from solid arguments.
