This study analyzes molecular dynamics data of supercooled water using an analytical model. We extracted key physical parameters from the self-intermediate scattering functions, revealing insights into water

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Understanding the dynamics of deeply supercooled water is crucial for various scientific fields.
  • Previous studies have utilized neutron scattering experiments to probe water's dynamic properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To extract k-dependent physical parameters from molecular dynamics data of low-temperature water.
  • To apply a phenomenological analytical model to analyze self-intermediate scattering functions (SISFs).
  • To provide a framework for analyzing new high-resolution quasielastic neutron scattering data.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 10 M-step molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the SPC/E water model at low temperatures.
  • Application of a phenomenological analytical model to fit the computed self-intermediate scattering functions (SISFs).

  • Modeling short-time relaxation using a harmonic potential well with a two-peak vibrational density of states and long-time relaxation using mode-coupling theory's alpha relaxation.

    • Main Results:

    • The SISF exhibits distinct two-step relaxations with a plateau, accurately modeled over 1 fs to 10 ns.
    • Extracted parameters include vibrational density of states peaks, cage structural relaxation rate (1/tau), and stretch exponent (beta).
    • The structural relaxation rate shows a k-dependent power-law relationship, and the stretch exponent varies with the wave vector transfer (k).

    Conclusions:

    • The phenomenological model successfully describes the dynamics of supercooled water across a wide timescale.
    • The extracted parameters provide valuable insights into the vibrational and structural relaxation dynamics of water.
    • This approach offers a robust method for interpreting complex neutron scattering data of water.
