Description
Recent probing of H2O-D2O mixtures by various means (neutron deep-inelastic scattering, Raman absorption, electrical H+/D+ conductivity) revealed an unexpected dependence of the relevant physical quantities on the isotopic composition of the mixture. We show that these observation can find their physical rationale in the context of an approach to the physics of liquid water which takes into account the non-negligible interaction of the molecules with the electromagnetic field, from which a two-fluid micro- scopical picture of water naturally emerges.
