摘要

Temperature dependence of the configurational fluctuation of water confined in a reverse micellar solution has been studied by absorption spectroscopy of a probe molecule. We have found that the configurational fluctuation is liquidlike below the homogeneous nucleation temperature. This is proposed to be due to a large reduction in the confinement of water, and is explained in terms of water shedding from the reverse micelle. Further, the configurational fluctuation is frozen at similar to 210 K. A reverse micellar solution is considered to be a promising candidate for studies of supercooled water.
