Freezing of the tetrahedral amorphous network in supercooled water triggers crystallization towards LDA ice

Ashutosh Srivastava, Pankaj A. Apte

In this work, we provide mechanistic insight into the initial stages of formation of ice across the limit of stability of supercooled water. Such an analysis is particularly import…

Dynamical instability causes the demise of a supercooled tetrahedral liquid

Arvind Kumar Gautam, Nandlal Pingua, Aashish Goyal +1

We investigate the relaxation mechanism of a supercooled tetrahedral liquid at its limit of stability using isothermal isobaric () Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. In similarity…

The freezing tendency towards 4-coordinated amorphous network causes increase in heat capacity of supercooled Stillinger-Weber silicon

Pankaj A. Apte, Nandlal Pingua, Arvind Kumar Gautam +4

The supercooled liquid silicon, modeled by Stillinger-Weber potential, shows anomalous increase in heat capacity , with a maximum value close to 1060 K at zero pressure.…

Nonmonotonic dependence of the absolute entropy on temperature in supercooled Stillinger-Weber silicon

Pankaj A. Apte, Arvind K. Gautam

Using a recently developed thermodynamic integration method, we compute the precise values of the excess Gibbs free energy (G^e) of the high density liquid (HDL) phase with respect…

Efficient computation of free energy of crystal phases due to external potentials by error-biased Bennett acceptance ratio method

Pankaj A. Apte

Free energy of crystal phases is commonly evaluated by thermodynamic integration (TDI) along a reversible path that involves an external potential. A persistent problem in this met…
