We demonstrate that local heating effects can safely be ignored and present our results which are manifestly incompatible with the existence of a bulk-like population of water mols. in the core of the pores.Films; Kerr effect (optical Kerr effect studies of dynamics of confined water)confined water orientational dynamics optical Kerr effecttext::journal::journal article::research article
