Abstract
WHEN water condenses in glass capillaries in conditions of relative humidity less than 1.0, it has been reported to have properties different from those established for bulk water1. Properties investigated have included density2, coefficient of thermal expansion2,3, freezing point depression2, boiling point elevation2, and the infrared, Raman and nuclear magnetium spectra resonance5,6. As part of a continuing investigation of the properties of water adsorbed on silicate surfaces7, an analysis of the dielectric and thermochemical properties of the anomalous water substance formed in glass capillaries in such conditions was initiated. In situ measurements of the dielectric constant and dielectric loss were made at the K band frequency of 2.3 × 1010 Hz.
