Quantum Coherence in Nano-Cofined Water
Abstract: Earlier work on Vesuvio has shown that the ground state of nano confined water is qualitatively different from that of bulk water, with protons delocalized over distances of .2-.3Å. It has been conjectured that this is due to correlated motion of protons in the nano-confined state. An experiment on Vesuvio on single walled nanotubes (SWNT) with D2O, for which the correlations should be suppressed, is consistent with this conjecture. However, the companion experiment on double walled carbon nanotubes (DWNT) failed because of difficulty with the sample. There is a large difference in the temperature dependence of the momentum distributions between SWNT and DWNT, and the SWNT result was marginal because of contamination by H2O. We therefore propose to complete the experiment by measuring the momentum distribution of D2O in DWNT.
