abstract = {We study the reorientation dynamics of liquid water
confined in nanometer-sized reverse micelles of spherical
and cylindrical shape. The size and shape of the micelles
are characterized in detail using small-angle x-ray
scattering, and the reorientation dynamics of the water
within the micelles is investigated using GHz dielectric
relaxation spectroscopy and polarization-resolved infrared
pump-probe spectroscopy on the OD-stretch mode of dilute
HDO:H2O mixtures. We find that the GHz dielectric response
of both the spherical and cylindrical reverse micelles can
be well described as a sum of contributions from the
surfactant, the water at the inner surface of the reversed
micelles, and the water in the core of the micelles. The
Debye relaxation time of the core water increases from the
bulk value τH2O of 8.2 ± 0.1 ps for the largest reverse
micelles with a radius of 3.2 nm to 16.0 ± 0.4 ps for the
smallest micelles with a radius of 0.7 nm. For the
nano-spheres the dielectric response of the water is
approximately ∼6 times smaller than expected from the
water volume fraction and the bulk dielectric relaxation of
water. We find that the dielectric response of nano-spheres
is more attenuated than that of nano-tubes of identical
composition (water-surfactant ratio), whereas the
reorientation dynamics of the water hydroxyl groups is
identical for the two geometries. We attribute the
attenuation of the dielectric response compared to bulk
water to a local anti-parallel ordering of the molecular
dipole moments. The difference in attenuation between
nano-spheres and nano-cylinders indicates that the
anti-parallel ordering of the water dipoles is more
pronounced upon spherical than upon cylindrical
