studied by the classical Monte-Carlo method in a wide range of surface charges. The interaction with the metal
is described by a potential constructed on the basis of ab initio quantum-chemical calculations. An attempt is
undertaken to interpret on a microscopic level the known experimental results obtained earlier by the technique
of a laser temperature jump for the mercury/inactive electrolyte interface. The calculated dependence of the
derivative of the dipole potential drop on the temperature Vh as a function of the electrode charge
nicely con-forms to the experimental data. The experimentally observed decrease in relaxation times near zeros in the
Vh(
) function is explained on the basis of the phenomenon of dipole reorientation and the behavior of hydrogen bonds between water molecules in a monolayer. The qualitative effects observed experimentally are caused by
structurization of water in the dense part of EDL and may be explained without any additional hypothesis on
phase transitions.
