The populations of the two liquid local water structures. (A) The populations of the low-density liquid (LDL) and the high-density liquid (HDL) water phases measured in confined geometry by means of light spectroscopy (18). (B) The same populations obtained in bulk water by means of a molecular dynamics simulation for the TIP5P water potential (21).

The thermal expansion coefficient αρ measured in confined water. The red line is the same quantity obtained from the bulk water density.
