Dynamics of supercooled water in confined geometry.

Author(s) : BERGMAN R., SWENSON J.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The article presents the conditions in which water can reach supercooling. Some liquids display highly non-Arrhenius temperature dependencies and they are called "fragile"; there are others, called "strong", whose behaviour is close to the Arrhenius law. For supercooled water, a unique "fragile-strong" transition around 228 K has been proposed. Different methods to study water behaviour in relation to temperature are presented.
