Abstract
Generation of ultra high frequency acoustic waves in water is key to nano resolution sensing, acoustic imaging and theranostics. In this context water immersed carbon nanotubes (CNTs) may act as an ideal optoacoustic source, due to their nanometric radial dimensions, peculiar thermal properties and broad band optical absorption. The generation mechanism of acoustic waves in water, upon excitation of both a single-wall (SW) and a multi-wall (MW) CNT with laser pulses of temporal width ranging from 5 ns down to ps, is theoretically investigated via a multiscale approach. We show that, depending on the combination of CNT size and laser pulse duration, the CNT can act as a thermophone or a mechanophone. As a thermophone, the CNT acts as a nanoheater for the surrounding water, which, upon thermal expansion, launches the pressure wave. As a mechanophone, the CNT acts as a nanopiston, its thermal expansion directly triggering the pressure wave in water. Activation of the mechanophone effect is sought to trigger few nanometers wavelength sound waves in water, matching the CNT acoustic frequencies. This is at variance with respect to the commonly addressed case of water-immersed single metallic nano-objects excited with ns laser pulses, where only the thermophone effect significantly contributes. The present findings might be of impact in fields ranging from nanoscale non-destructive testing to water dynamics at the meso to nanoscale.

Abstract
![]()
Despite the technological importance of supercritical fluids, controversy remains
about the details of their microscopic dynamics. In this work, we
study four supercritical fluid systems—water, Si, Te, and Lennard-Jones
fluid—via classical molecular dynamics simulations. A universal
two-component behavior is observed in the intermolecular dynamics
of these systems, and the changing ratio between the two components
leads to a crossover from liquidlike to gaslike dynamics, most rapidly
around the Widom line. We find evidence to connect the liquidlike
component dominating at lower temperatures with intermolecular bonding
and the component prominent at higher temperatures with free-particle,
gaslike dynamics. The ratio between the components can be used to
describe important properties of the fluid, such as its self-diffusion
coefficient, in the transition region. Our results provide an insight
into the fundamental mechanism controlling the dynamics of supercritical
fluids and highlight the role of spatiotemporally inhomogeneous dynamics
even in thermodynamic states where no large-scale fluctuations exist
in the fluid.

Abstract
Molecular-scale dynamics in sub- to supercritical water is studied with inelastic x-ray scattering and molecular dynamics simulations. The obtained longitudinal current correlation spectra can be decomposed into two main components: a low-frequency (LF), gaslike component and a high-frequency (HF) component arising from the O-O stretching mode between hydrogen-bonded molecules, reminiscent of the longitudinal acoustic mode in ambient water. With increasing temperature, the hydrogen-bond network diminishes and the spectral weight shifts from HF to LF, leading to a transition from liquid- to gaslike dynamics with rapid changes around the Widom line.

Abstract
We used the high-resolution Inelastic X-ray Scattering beamline of the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory to measure the terahertz spectrum of pure water and a dilute aqueous suspension of 15 nm diameter spherical Au nanoparticles (Au-NPs). We observe that, despite their sparse volume concentration of about 0.5%, the immersed NPs strongly influence the collective molecular dynamics of the hosting liquid. We investigate this effect through a Bayesian inference analysis of the spectral lineshape, which elucidates how terahertz transport properties of water change upon Au-NP immersion. In particular, we observe a nearly complete disappearance of the longitudinal acoustic mode and a mildly decreased ability to support shear wave propagation.

Abstract
In the last few decades, experimental studies of the terahertz spectrum of density fluctuations have considerably improved our knowledge of the mesoscopic dynamics of disordered materials, which also have imposed new demands on the data modelling and interpretation. Indeed, lineshape analyses are no longer limited to the phenomenological observation of inelastic features, as in the pioneering stage of Neutron or X-ray spectroscopy, rather aiming at the extraction from their shape of physically relevant quantities, as sound velocity and damping, relaxation times, or other transport coefficients. In this effort, researchers need to face both inherent and practical obstacles, respectively stemming from the highly damped nature of terahertz modes and the limited energy resolution, accessible kinematic region and statistical accuracy of the typical experimental outcome. To properly address these challenges, a global reconsideration of the lineshape modelling and the enforcement of evidence-based probabilistic inference is becoming crucial. Particularly compelling is the possibility of implementing Bayesian inference methods, which we illustrated here through an in-depth discussion of some results recently obtained in the analysis of Neutron and X-ray scattering results.

Abstract
Investigating million-atom systems for very long simulation times, we demonstrate that the collective density-density correlation time (τ_{α}) in simulated supercooled water and silica becomes wave-vector independent (q^{0}) when the probing wavelength is several times larger than the interparticle distance. The q independence of the collective density-density correlation functions, a feature clearly observed in light-scattering studies of some soft-matter systems, is thus a genuine feature of many (but not all) slow-dynamics systems, either atomic, molecular, or colloidal. Indeed, we show that when the dynamics of the density fluctuations includes particle-type diffusion, as in the case of the Lennard-Jones binary-mixture model, the q^{0} regime does not set in and the relaxation time continues to scale as τ_{α}∼q^{-2} even at small q.

Abstract
The control of phonon propagation in nanoparticle arrays is one of the frontiers of nanotechnology, potentially enabling the discovery of materials with unknown functionalities for potential innovative applications. The exploration of the terahertz window appears quite promising as phonons in this range are the leading carriers of heat transport in insulators and their control is the key to implement devices for heat flow management. Unfortunately, this scientific field is still in its infancy, and even a basic topic such as the influence of floating nanoparticles on the terahertz phonon propagation of a colloidal suspension still eludes a firm answer. Shedding some light on this topic is the main motivation of the present work, which focuses an inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) measurements on a dilute suspension of Au nanospheres in water. Measured spectra showed a nontrivial shape displaying multiple inelastic features that, based on a Bayesian inference analysis, we assign to phonon modes propagating throughout the nanoparticle interior. Surprisingly, the spectra bear no evidence of propagating modes, which are known to dominate the spectrum of pure water, owing to the scattering that these modes suffer from the sparse nanoparticles in suspension. In perspective, this finding may inspire simple routes to manipulate high-frequency acoustic propagation in hybrid-liquid and solid-materials.

Abstract
In this Letter, we present a simple method to avoid the well-known spurious contributions in the Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectrum arising from the finite aperture of collection optics. The method relies on the use of special spatial filters able to select the scattered light with arbitrary precision around a given value of the momentum transfer (Q). We demonstrate the effectiveness of such filters by analyzing the BLS spectra of a reference sample as a function of scattering angle. This practical and inexpensive method could be an extremely useful tool to fully exploit the potentiality of Brillouin acoustic spectroscopy, as it will easily allow for effective Q-variable experiments with unparalleled luminosity and resolution.

Abstract
We report on a high resolution inelastic UV scattering table-top setup conceived for Brillouin measurements. The system is based on a tandem 1+1 pass scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer of Sandercock type. Special optics were used in order to adapt such an interferometric device, nowadays only used at visible or IR wavelength, to the UV range. The advantages with respect to other UV Brillouin scattering instruments are the larger resolving power and the improved contrast in the low frequency spectral region. To corroborate these features we provide a comparison between data obtained using the described system and those from existing UV Brillouin scattering instruments.

Abstract
An inelastic UV scattering experiment has been carried out on acetic acid-water solutions as a function of temperature and concentration. The analysis of experimental data indicates the presence of a crossover temperature (T(c) approximately 325 +/- 10 K). Above T(c), the energy of hydrogen bonds responsible for water-acetic acid and acetic acid-acetic acid interactions is strongly reduced. This leads to a reduction in the average number of water molecule interacting with acetic acid, as well as to a lower number of acetic acid clusters. The latter behavior can be mainly ascribed to a temperature change in the activation energy of carboxylic groups of acetic acid. These results may be also relevant to better understand the folding mechanism in protein-water solutions.

Abstract
The microscopic dynamics of four prototype systems (water, ammonia, nitrogen, and neon) across the critical temperature has been investigated by means of high-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering. The experimental line shape has been described using a model based on the memory function formalism. Two main relaxations, the thermal and the structural one, were observed in all the investigated systems. We found that the microscopic mechanism driving the structural relaxation clearly changes, being mainly governed by intermolecular bond rearrangements below the critical temperature and by binary collisions above it. Moreover, we observed that the relative weight of the thermal relaxation systematically increases on approaching the critical temperature, thus allowing for the observation of a transition from an adiabatic to an isothermal regime of sound propagation. Finally, we found the presence of an additional instantaneous relaxation, likely related to the coupling between collective vibrational modes and intramolecular degrees of freedom.
