Phase fluctuations in a confined fluid

Frédéric Caupin, Alberto Zaragoza, Miguel A. Gonzalez +1

Fluid phase equilibrium depends on the external constraints imposed on a system. In a closed system with fixed volume, depending on the average density, a vapor bubble may be stabl…

Structural and dynamic anomalous properties of TIP4P/2005 water at extreme pressures

José Martín-Roca, Alberto Zaragoza, Frédéric Caupin +1

Water shows numerous thermodynamic, dynamic, and structural anomalies. Recent experiments [Eichler et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 134101 (2025)], based on measurements of shear and b…

Anomalous behaviour of transport properties in a supercooled water-glycerol mixture

Alberto Zaragoza, Rajat Kumar, Jose Martín Roca +4

Glycerol acts as a natural cryoprotectant by depressing the temperature of ice nucleation and slowing down the dynamics of water mixtures. In this work we characterize dynamics --…

Influence of water models on water movement through AQP1

Miguel A. Gonzalez, Alberto Zaragoza, Charlotte I. Lynch +2

Water diffusion through membrane proteins is a key aspect of cellular function. Essential processes of cellular metabolism are driven by osmotic pressure, which depends on water ch…

Molecular dynamics study of nanoconfined TIP4P/2005 water: how confinement and temperature affect diffusion and viscosity

A Zaragoza, MA Gonzalez, L Joly +4

In the last decades a large effort has been devoted to the study of water confined in hydrophobic geometries at the nanoscale (tubes, slit pores), because of the multiple technolog…

Phase boundaries, nucleation rates and speed of crystal growth of the water-to-ice transition under an electric field: a simulation study

Alberto Zaragoza, Jorge R Espinosa, Regina Ramos +6

We investigate with computer simulations the effect of applying an electric field on the water-to-ice transition. We use a combination of state-of-the-art simulation techniques to…
