Free energy surface of ST2 water near the liquid-liquid phase transition
arXiv:1212.1600 · doi:10.1063/1.4775738
Abstract
We carry out umbrella sampling Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the free energy surface of the ST2 model of water as a function two order parameters, the density and a bond-orientational order parameter. We approximate the long-range electrostatic interactions of the ST2 model using the reaction-field method. We focus on state points in the vicinity of the liquid-liquid critical point proposed for this model in earlier work. At temperatures below the predicted critical temperature we find two basins in the free energy surface, both of which have liquid-like bond orientational order, but differing in density. The pressure and temperature dependence of the shape of the free energy surface is consistent with the assignment of these two basins to the distinct low density and high density liquid phases previously predicted to occur in ST2 water.
