This study explores molecular correlation functions in supercooled water, revealing patterns predicted by molecular mode-coupling theory (MMCT) and explaining the slowdown in molecular dynamics. Findings offer insights into liquid water

Area of Science:

  • Computational physics
  • Chemical physics
  • Liquid state theory

Background:

  • Supercooled liquids exhibit complex dynamics not fully explained by classical theories.
  • Molecular dynamics simulations are crucial for understanding liquid behavior at the molecular level.
  • Molecular Mode-Coupling Theory (MMCT) provides a theoretical framework for describing dynamics in supercooled liquids.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate static and dynamic properties of molecular correlation functions in simulated supercooled water.
  • To test predictions of Molecular Mode-Coupling Theory (MMCT) for supercooled molecular liquids.
  • To elucidate the mechanisms driving the slowdown of molecular dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Performing 250 ns molecular dynamics simulations of water molecules.

  • Examining temperature and time dependence of these correlation functions.

    • Main Results:

    • Observed characteristic patterns in molecular correlation functions consistent with MMCT predictions.
    • Identified driving mechanisms for the slowing down of molecular dynamics.
    • Discovered additional relationships between static correlators S(lmn,l(')m(')n('))(q-->) with different signs of n and n(').

    Conclusions:

    • The study validates MMCT predictions in supercooled water simulations.
    • Symmetry properties, specifically C(2v) symmetry, influence molecular correlation functions.
    • An unexpected exact relationship for static correlators in C(rv) symmetric molecules at high temperatures was proven.
