Adiabatic and isothermal sound waves: the case of supercritical nitrogen

arXiv:cond-mat/0512383 · doi:10.1209/epl/i2006-10091-y

Abstract

The acoustic sound dispersion of nitrogen in its liquid and supercritical phases has been studied by Inelastic X-Ray Scattering. Approaching supercritical conditions, the gradual disappearance of the positive sound dispersion, characteristic of the low temperature liquid, is observed. In the supercritical state, evidence for a crossover between adiabatic and isothermal sound propagation regimes is inferred by an analysis of the dynamic structure factor based on generalized hydrodynamics.
