Abstract

This paper uses IR spectroscopy to study the temperature dependence of the displacement of the maximum of a Raman band with frequency ν2 + νOH(5180 cm−1) in the spectrum of water exposed for 4-6 h to a weak (1.26×10−5 T) low-frequency (4 Hz) magnetic field in the interval 10-40 °C. The nonmonotonic nature of this dependence at 14, 22, and 31 °C is evidence that cooperative coherent dynamics appear in water as a result of induced metastable associates of water. The induced metastable associates in water are nonequilibrium (excited) structures whose decay is accompanied by the emission of dissipation quanta hν << kT.
