Spectral amplitudes of the core (fast) and interfacial (slow) components in the vibrational relaxation for water in two sizes of reverse micelles, obtained from a global fit to the data. (Right) The relative core and interfacial fractions, which are obtained by spectrally integrating the positive (bleaching) part of the spectrum for each of the two components. Error bars are put at those fractions where the χ2 value of the global fit doubles its minimized value (keeping the interfacial vibrational lifetime fixed).
