In molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of water, rigid non-polarizable models are still valuable and widely used because of their low computational cost and excellent performance. Most of such models have been for light water (H2O) for a long time, and a few have recently been reported for heavy water (D2O). The specific models of D2O are needed because of its notably slower dynamics and stronger hydrogen bond than H2O. To our knowledge, no models of semi-heavy water (HOD) were made, although HOD is the most abundant and, therefore, most important chemical species in isotopically diluted water (IDW) prepared by mixing equal amounts of H2O and D2O. For precise MD simulations of IDW, a specific model of HOD is definitely needed. Here, we report the development of a new rigid non-polarizable model of HOD, TIP4P/2005-SHW, on the basis of the most popular H2O model, TIP4P/2005, and its D2O counterpart, TIP4P/2005-HW. We show the details of the development and demonstrate the high reproducibility of TIP4P/2005-SHW in terms of the density, the temperature of maximum density, the viscosity, and the diffusion coefficient.

The Journal of Chemical Physics, Volume:160, Number:10, First page:104504, Apr. 2024, [Reviewed], [Invited], [Last, Corresponding]
In view of the current situation in which the OD-stretch vibrational spectra have been scarcely computed with non-polarizable rigid D2O models, we investigate the IR and Raman spectra of D2O by using a newly-reported model TIP4P/2005-HW. From the comparison between the calculations and experimental data, we find the excellent performance of TIP4P/2005-HW for vibrational spectroscopy of D2O in the same manner as TIP4P/2005 for H2O, although one may still conveniently employ an alternative method that regards OH as putative OD to calculate the OD-stretch spectra with similar quality from TIP4P/2005 trajectories. We also demonstrate that the appropriate setting for the spectral simulation of D2O under the time-averaging approximation reflects the slower dynamics (i.e., slower motion of translation and rotation due to the heavier mass and stronger hydrogen bond) of D2O than H2O. Moreover, we show from the theoretical calculations that the established interpretation of the OH-stretch spectra of H2O is finely applicable to the OD-stretch of D2O.

Korenobu Matsuzaki; Shoichi Yamaguchi; Tahei Tahara
The Journal of Chemical Physics, Volume:159, Number:22, First page:224708, Dec. 2023, [Reviewed]
Sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy is an interface-selective spectroscopic technique that enables us to selectively observe the vibrational or electronic resonances of molecules within a very thin interface layer. The interfacial properties probed by SFG are contained in a complex quantity called the second-order nonlinear susceptibility (χ2). It is usually believed that the imaginary part of χ2 (Im χ2) exhibits the resonant responses of the system, whereas the nonresonant responses appear solely in the real part of χ2 (Re χ2). However, it was recently theoretically pointed out that a portion of the nonresonant responses actually contributes to the observed Im χ2 spectra when the finite thickness of the interface layer is taken into account. In this study, by considering a simple air/liquid interface without any solutes as a model system, we theoretically evaluate the nonresonant contribution to experimentally accessible Im χ2 as well as to Re χ2, from which the complex phase of the nonresonant background is estimated. It is shown that the deviation of the complex phase from 0° or 180° is less than 1° even if the thickness of the interface layer is taken into account. This means that the nonresonant contribution to Im χ2 is practically negligible, and it is a very good approximation to think that the nonresonant background appears solely in Re χ2 in the case of air/liquid interfaces. This result implies that Im χ2 practically contains only the resonant responses of the system, and molecular resonances at the interface can be conveniently studied using Im χ2 spectra at such interfaces.

The Journal of Chemical Physics, Volume:159, Number:17, First page:171101, Nov. 2023, [Reviewed], [Lead, Corresponding]
In view of the current situation in which non-polarizable rigid water models have been scarcely examined against surface-specific properties, we appraise TIP4P-type models at the liquid water surface on the basis of heterodyne-detected sum frequency generation (HD-SFG) spectroscopy. We find in the HD-SFG spectrum of the water surface that the peak frequency of the hydrogen-bonded OH band, the half width at half maximum of the hydrogen-bonded OH band, and the full width at half maximum of the free OH band are best reproduced by TIP4P, TIP4P/Ew, and TIP4P/Ice, respectively, whereas it is already well known that TIP4P/2005 best reproduces the surface tension. These TIP4P-type models perform better at the water surface in terms of the present appraisal items than some polarizable models in the literature.

Tetsuyuki Takayama; Takuhiro Otosu; Shoichi Yamaguchi
The Journal of Chemical Physics, Volume:158, Number:13, First page:136101, Apr. 2023, [Reviewed], [Last, Corresponding]
We computed the IR, Raman, and sum frequency generation spectra of water in the OH-stretch region by employing the quantum/classical mixed approach that consists of a vibrational spectroscopic map and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. We carried out the MD simulation with the TIP4P, TIP4P/2005, and TIP4P/Ice models and applied the map designed for TIP4P by Skinner et al. to each MD trajectory. Although the map is not tuned for TIP4P-like models, TIP4P/2005 and TIP4P/Ice provide the best reproduction of the experimental vibrational spectra of liquid water and crystalline ice, respectively. This result demonstrates the transferability of the map from TIP4P to TIP4P/2005 and TIP4P/Ice, meaning that one can choose an appropriate TIP4P-like model to calculate the vibrational spectra of an aqueous system without rebuilding the map.

Molecular-level understanding of interfaces is of crucial importance in many fundamental and applied sciences. Vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopy has intrinsic interface-selectivity and has been widely utilized to study molecular structures and dynamics at interfaces. However, conventional VSFG spectroscopy measures the intensity of the signal, providing only information about the square of second-order nonlinear susceptibility, |<I>χ</I><sup>(2)</sup>|<sup>2</sup>. Recently, we developed multiplex heterodyne-detected (HD-) VSFG spectroscopy. This HD-VSFG spectroscopy enables us to measure the imaginary part of <I>χ</I><sup>(2)</sup>, Im<I>χ</I><sup>(2)</sup>, which can be directly compared to infrared absorption and Raman spectra. Moreover, we have extended the HD-VSFG spectroscopy to time-resolved (TR-) HD-VSFG spectroscopy and two-dimensional (2D) HD-VSFG spectroscopy by combining with the pump-probe technique. This review describes development of these time-resolved HD-VSFG methods and their applications to the water interfaces.

This book provides unique introduction for experimentalists to theoretically calculate vibrational (IR, Raman, SFG) spectra of molecules in liquid and solid phases. Vibrational spectroscopy is the most popular and valuable tool for scientists to obtain physicochemical insight into complex molecular systems. Although standard softwares of quantum chemistry calculations routinely provide predictions of spectra, this book describes dynamic aspects and spectroscopic accuracy enough to compare our experimental data directly to computations, that lack in the softwares. The quantum/classical mixed approach presented in this book allows researchers including graduate students of chemistry and physics to extract microscopic information of structure and dynamics from their vibrational spectroscopic experimental data with no help from theoreticians.

Among numerous crystalline phases of ice, the Ih phase is the most stable above 72 K at atmospheric pressure. It is well established that the orientations of water molecules in the bulk of ice Ih are statistical without long-range order. However, the orientational order of water at the surface of ice Ih has been enigmatic. Here we show that the surface of ice Ih at 100 K has hydrogen order with the OH group pointing upward to the air ("H-up" orientation). We applied nonlinear optical spectroscopy and theoretical modeling to the surface of isotopically pure and diluted ice Ih and observed OH stretch vibrational signatures attributed to H-up ordering. Furthermore, we found that this hydrogen order takes place despite more inhomogeneous microenvironment at the surface than in the bulk. Our results suggest the prominent role of the surface to allow the reorientation of water molecules for hydrogen ordering that is virtually prohibited in the bulk.

Among numerous crystalline phases of ice, the Ih phase is the most stable at atmospheric pressure. It is well established that the orientations of water molecules in the bulk of ice Ih are disordered or random within the ice rules. However, the orientational order of water at surfaces of ice Ih is yet to be established. Although surface proton order of ice Ih has been investigated and suggested by some theoretical studies, no experimental evidence has been reported so far because of the lack of suitable techniques. Here we show that the surfaces of ice Ih definitely have proton order with the OH group pointing upward to the air. We applied an advanced spectroscopic technique to the ice surfaces at ca. 130 K and observed vibrational signatures of the OH stretch that directly indicate H-up orientation of water. Furthermore, we found that this surface proton order takes place irrespective of the faces of ice.

We studied complex molecular systems by the best spectroscopic measurements. We made numerous research achievements, while strongly promoting collaboration with researchers in this project. Particularly, (1) in ultrafast spectroscopy, we have realized an “ultimate” form of time-resolved impulsive stimulated Raman spectroscopy that we developed. We also clarified the ultrafast process of various biomolecules, supramolecules and functional molecules. (2) In interface-selective nonlinear spectroscopy, we have investigated interfacial water structure by utilizing heterodyne-detected vibrational sum-frequency generation spectroscopy (HD-VSFG)developed by us.We also studied interfacial dynamics by developing two-dimensional HD-VSFG spectroscopy and time-resolved measurement with ultraviolet excitation. (3) In the study of single molecule spectroscopy, we developed 2D fluorescence lifetime correlation spectroscopy, We studied protein folding processes, and obtained new important findings.

Single-channel heterodyne-detected sum frequency generation (HD-SFG) spectroscopy for selectively measuring vibrational spectra of liquid interfaces is presented. This new methodology is based on optical interference between sum frequency signal light from a sample interface and phase-controlled local oscillator light. In single-channel HD-SFG, interferometric and spectrometric measurements are simultaneously carried out with an input IR laser scanned in a certain wavenumber range, which results in a less task than existing phase-sensitive sum frequency spectroscopy. The real and imaginary parts of second-order nonlinear optical susceptibility (χ(2)) of interfaces are separately obtained with spectral resolution as high as 4 cm-1 that is approximately six times better than existing multiplex HD-SFG.

Heterodyne-detected sum frequency generation (HD-SFG) has been applied only to "unburied" interfaces such as air/liquid and air/solid interfaces, because the optically-thick bulk makes it difficult to determine the phase of an electric field, which hinders the heterodyne detection. Here we report that HD-SFG for "buried" interfaces can be carried out by the precise measurement of the bulk thickness and the rigorous expression of the signal electric field.

Because interfaces play crucial roles in many phenomena that are important in a wide range of science and technology, molecular-level understanding of interfaces is highly desired. In this study, we developed new interface-selective time-resolved nonlinear vibrational spectroscopic methods, by combining the femtosecond photoexcitation and multiplex heterodyne-detected vibrational sum-frequency generation technique developed by us. Using the newly developed methods, we succeeded in tracing femtosecond-picosecond dynamics at water interfaces, including the observation of hole-burning indicating inhomogeneity of hydrogen bonds of interfacial water as well as the following spectral diffusion that occurs on the time scale of a few hundred femtoseconds.

I show that a newly-developed second-order nonlinear spectroscopic technique allows me to draw topology diagrams of such proteins. Uniquely, one can determine "up" versus "down" alignment of molecules on a surface using this second-order nonlinear spectroscopy. In my novel but simple approach, an "alignment indicator" is introduced to each segment of a protein before immobilizing the protein on a glass surface, and the up versus down alignment of each segment is nonlinear-spectroscopically determined. This approach is very powerful and useful for proteins to which neither X-ray nor NMR is applicable.

We studied complex molecular systems using the most advanced spectroscopy. With ultrafast spectroscopy, we elucidated the multi-dimensional reaction coordinate of isomeriataion of cis-stilbene, clarified the mechanism of the ultrafast structural chang of Cu(I) complexes, and succeeded in tracking nuclear motion along the isomerization coordinate of a prototypical cyanine dye. With interface-selective nonlinear spectroscopy, we developed heterodyne-detected electronic and vibrational sum-frequency generation spectroscopies and obtained a number of new insights into fundamental phenomena at water interfaces including the interface of model membranes. For correlation spectroscopy, we combined fluorescence intensity correlation measurements and fluorescence lifetime measurements to develop a new method that has a very high potential for the study of structural fluctuation of biopolymers.

On the basis of our original ESFG spectroscopy, we have developed a group of new interface-selective nonlinear electronic and vibrational spectroscopies such as time-resolved ESFG (TR-ESFG), 4^-order nonlinear Raman (X^<(4)> Raman), heterodyne-detected ESFG (HD-ESFG) and heterodyne-detected VSFG (HD-VSFG). Using these new methods, we studied fundamental problems of water interfaces. We clarified the effective polarity, surface denaturation of a protein, ultrafast dynamics of dye molecule, novel hydrogen bonding at the water interfaces, and observed flip-flop of water molecules at the charged water interfaces.

We studied photochemical dynamics in the condensed phase by using femtosecond electronic spectroscopy, picosecond time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy, and pump-probe spectroscopy that enables us to observe nuclear wavepacket motions. Major outcomes are followings.
1.Ultrafast photodissociation of diphenylcyclopropenone was studied by pump-probe spectroscopy based on 10-fs pulses. The wavepacket motion of the S_2 state was observed, and its relevance to the reaction coordinate was discussed. Time-resolved time-domain Raman spectroscopy was developed. With this method, we observed Raman-active low-frequency vibrations of trans-stilbene and binapthyl in the excited state in the time domain.
2.Photo-induced proton transfer of the 7-azaindole dimer and photoisomerization of trans-azobenzene were studied by femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy, and their reaction mechanisms were clarified. Ultrafast fluorescence dynamics of a model compound of chromophore of Green Fluorescence Protein was investigated, and its ultrafast radiationless relaxation process was discussed.
3.Picosecond time-resolved Raman spectra of water were measured under the resonance condition with the electronic transition of the solvated electron. It was discovered that the water molecules that solvate the electron give rise to strong resonance Raman scattering.
4.Fluorescence up-conversion microscope was developed. It simultaneously achieved femtosecond time-resolution and sub-micron space-resolution in fluorescence measurements for the first time. A new femtosecond fluorescence imaging technique was developed, which enabled us to observe fluorescence intensity as a time-wavelength two-dimensional image. An apparatus for multi-channel detection of two-photon absorption was developed. Precise two photon absorption spectra of retinal and C_<60> were measured.

科学の面白さと正しさ
______________________
昨年,STAP細胞の研究不正が大きな騒動になりました.その騒動から,はっきりと分かったことがあります.それは,正しくない科学であっても人はあれほど面白がることができる,ということです.
成果発表から不正が疑われ始めるまでの間,専門家から門外漢まで,ほとんどの人が研究内容の面白さを手放しで賞賛していました.科学研究において,「面白いかどうか」はその価値を決める最も重要なファクターと考えられています.「あなたの研究はとても面白い」と言われて喜ばない研究者はいません.逆に,「正しいが面白くない研究」は研究者にとって侮辱の言葉とされています.そして,あの騒動を経ても,科学の「面白さ至上主義」は微動だにしていません.科学としての正しさは当然の前提条件であって,面白さや,それに加えて新規性,有用性を追求することが科学研究の営みであり続けています.
しかし,単なる前提の当たり前のものとして扱えるほど,科学的に「正しい」ということは簡単なものではありません.実際に,騒動の渦中には,世界的に著名な超一流と言われる科学者が複数いました.超一流であるにもかかわらず,研究内容が正しくないということを事前に見抜くことはできませんでした.一方で,不正の発見に主要な貢献をしたのは,当該分野とその周辺の多数の研究者や関係者でした.そのような方々のほとんどは,恐らく超一流とは呼ばれていない普通の人と予想されます.このことは大変示唆に富んでいます.科学的な正しさを保つのに必要なのは,少数の超一流研究者でなはく,多数の普通の人々です.正しいかどうかを見極めるには,頂にいる天才数人よりも,裾野の凡人数万人の方が遥かに有効です.頂をより高く,真理により近づけるためには,広い裾野が必要なのです.
これまで積み上げられてきたものが正しいならば,正しくないものが新しく面白いとされて持て囃されることが稀に起こるのは致し方ないことでしょう.ただ正しいだけのものが,当たり前のつまらないものと見なされるのも,ある意味当然のことです.しかし,正しいかどうか,ということは決して蔑ろにされてはいけません.面白いかどうか,役に立つかどうか,新しいかどうか,すごいかどうか,ということだけに過剰に重きを置いた研究の成果は,短命に終わるに違いありません.
真理を愚直に追求する多数の普通の研究者が,正しい科学を生き残らせてその発展を支えています.
