Visualization of Vibrations of Protons and Oxygens and Proton Transport in the Melted Ice Lattice of Pure Liquid Water Using Blender Animation

ORAL

Abstract

Our protonic bipolar semiconductor model, with protonic self-traps (self-generated proton-prohol traps from dynamic polarization by valence electrons during proton transport in an applied force) in the melted ice periodic lattice, explains the abnormally high electrical mobility of positive protons and negative prohols in pure liquid water. The vibrational frequencies & amplitudes of protons and oxygens on the frozen periodic lattice were computed by us, from the 36x36 dynamical matrix with 6 elastic force constants. Proton transport track on the lattice is modeled by Newton Mechanics of Mass-Spring. Blender software visualizes 3D vibrations of protons and oxygens and 3D proton transport. Blender animations are presented as 2D movie clips to bundle the proton tracks into mass distributed Maxwellian strings with Debye-Waller diameter from the Debye-mode vibrating oxygens and local protons. Self-traps in the transitions of our ABCABC… proton transport model are illustrated via protonic kinetic energy (KE) exchange with the reservoir: A, the 1-step emission-release of a trapped proton by absorbing-capturing its own proton local mode, and B-C: the micro-eV m-steps capture of a forced proton with KE dissipated in each step by emission of a Debye oxygen-proton traveling wave phonon.
