High-density liquid (HDL) adsorption at the supercooled water/vapor interface and its possible relation to the second surface tension inflection point
arXiv:2211.08865 · doi:10.1063/5.0132985
Abstract
We investigate the properties of water along the liquid/vapor coexistence line in the supercooled regime down to the no-man's land. Extensive molecular dynamics simulations of the TIP4P/2005 liquid/vapor interface in the range 198 -- 348 K allow us to locate the second surface tension inflection point with high accuracy at 2835 K, close to the temperature of maximum density (TMD). This temperature also coincides with the appearance of a density anomaly at the interface known as the apophysis. We relate the emergence of the apophysis to the observation of HDL water adsorption in the proximity of the liquid/vapor interface.
