Changes in the Raman Spectrum of OH Stretching Vibrations of Water in an Ultrasonic Cavitation Field

摘要

A modification of the local structure of molecular aggregates in liquid water subjected to the action of an ultrasonic cavitation field is found. This modification is detected by the shift of the center of the Raman band contour of the OH stretching vibrations. It was also found that both the structure and the growth rate of lysozyme crystals grown in redistilled Milli-Q water and in water subjected to cavitation treatment differ considerably from each other.
