Hence, the relaxation process of water will speed up compared with the case of the reverse micelle. Furthermore, it is reasonable that the water motion below Tc slows down less than that above Tc and is similar to that of liquid water, as seen in Fig. 6(a). We have recently shown for a dye molecule-containing reverse micelle that the diffusion-like motion of the water molecules surrounding the dye molecule sets in upon the water and dye molecule shedding from the reverse micelle [17]. This is a kind of speeding up of the water motion induced by the water shedding.
The aggregation process of the water droplets expelled does not affect the response of the water to THz waves, as described in Section 5.1. This is explained as follows. After the water shedding, the extracted water droplet takes on a state close to that of liquid water. The aggregates with different sizes are the same in having the state close to that of liquid water, even though the aggregation process progresses.
