Phase diagram of supercooled water confined to hydrophilic nanopores.

چکیده
We present a phase diagram for water confined to cylindrical silica nanopores in terms of pressure, temperature, and pore radius. The confining cylindrical wall is hydrophilic and disordered, which has a destabilizing effect on ordered water structure. The phase diagram for this class of systems is derived from general arguments, with parameters taken from experimental observations and computer simulations and with assumptions tested by computer simulation. Phase space divides into three regions: a single liquid, a crystal-like solid, and glass. For large pores, radii exceeding 1 nm, water exhibits liquid and crystal-like behaviors, with abrupt crossovers between these regimes. For small pore radii, crystal-like behavior is unstable and water remains amorphous for all non-zero temperatures. At low enough temperatures, these states are glasses. Several experimental results for supercooled water can be understood in terms of the phase diagram we present.

Dynamic Crossover and Liquid-liquid Critical Point in the Tip5p
Water is hypothesized to have a low temperature phase transition line which separates a high density water at high temperatures from a low density water at low temperatures. This negatively sloped first order liquid-liquid phase coexistence line terminates at a critical point known as the liquid-liquid critical point. This critical point is hypothesized to exist in a deeply supercooled region o...

متن کاملSupercooling of Water
Water has a complex phase diagram with more than 16 crystalline phases, two glass phases and liquid which displays many unique behaviors, especially in the region of -45 °C (Mishima and Stanley 1998, Stokely et al. 2010). It can remain a liquid even under conditions where a more stable phase exists, and in those conditions is said to be supercooled. Supercooled water can be prompted to turn int...
متن کاملThe Widom line of supercooled water
Water can be supercooled to temperatures as low as −92 ◦C, the experimental crystal homogeneous nucleation temperature TH at 2 kbar. Within the supercooled liquid phase its response functions show an anomalous increase consistent with the presence of a liquid–liquid critical point located in a region inaccessible to experiments on bulk water. Recent experiments on the dynamics of confined water...
