Probing hydrogen bond strength in liquid water by resonant inelastic X-ray scattering

Understanding how nuclear motions affect vibrational motions in molecular liquids remains challenging in modern condensed matter physics. Here the authors study the vibrational quantum effects in liquid water and show the sensitivity on the coherent evolution of OH bonds in core-excited states.
