Abstract

A study of the dielectric function changes of water induced by a device known as "allotropic" cell is presented. Changes of the dielectric function in distilled water and ultrapure water were quantified, using surface plasmons resonance (SPR) on gold islands. An increment in the value of the dielectric function of "allotropized" water with respect to that of non-treated water was measured. Such increment is larger when water is heated and stirred during the treatment.
