Configuration space connectivity across the fragile-to-strong transition in silica.
We present a numerical analysis for SiO (2) of the fraction of diffusive direction f(diff) for temperatures T on both sides of the fragile-to-strong crossover. The T dependence of f(diff) clearly reveals this change in dynamical behavior. We find that for T above the crossover (fragile region) the system is always close to ridges of the potential energy surface (PES), while below the crossover ...
متن کاملStrong to fragile transition in a model of liquid silica
The transport properties of an ionic model for liquid silica [1] at high temperatures and pressure are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. With increasing pressure, a clear change from ”strong” to ”fragile” behaviour (according to Angell’s classification of glass-forming liquids) is observed, albeit only on the small viscosity range that can be explored in MD simulations. This ch...
متن کاملFragile-to-strong crossover coupled to the liquid-liquid transition in hydrophobic solutions.
Using discrete molecular dynamics simulations we study the relation between the thermodynamic and diffusive behaviors of a primitive model of aqueous solutions of hydrophobic solutes consisting of hard spheres in the Jagla particles solvent, close to the liquid-liquid critical point of the solvent. We find that the fragile-to-strong dynamic transition in the diffusive behavior is always coupled...
متن کاملCause of the fragile-to-strong transition observed in water confined in C-S-H gel.
In this study, the rotational dynamics of hydration water confined in calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) gel with a water content of 22 wt.% was studied by broadband dielectric spectroscopy in broad temperature (110-300 K) and frequency (10(-1)-10(8) Hz) ranges. The C-S-H gel was used as a 3D confining system for investigating the possible existence of a fragile-to-strong transition for water aro...
متن کاملFree energy and configurational entropy of liquid silica: fragile-to-strong crossover and polyamorphism.
Recent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of liquid silica, using the "BKS" model [Phys. Rev. Lett. 64, 1955 (1990)]], have demonstrated that the liquid undergoes a dynamical crossover from super-Arrhenius, or "fragile" behavior, to Arrhenius, or "strong" behavior, as temperature T is decreased. From extensive MD simulations, we show that this fragile-to-strong crossover (FSC) can be connected...
