Water is the most abundant liquid on earth and also the substance with the largest number
of anomalies in its properties. It is a prerequisite for life and as such a most important subject …

Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long-
range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers show no …

The success of first-principles electronic-structure calculation for predictive modeling in
chemistry, solid-state physics, and materials science is constrained by the limitations on …

Two or more liquid states may exist even for single-component substances, which is known
as liquid polymorphism, and the transition between them is called liquid–liquid transition …

Water and silicon are chemically dissimilar substances with common physical properties.
Their liquids display a temperature of maximum density, increased diffusivity on …

The liquid–liquid transition (LLT), in which a single-component liquid transforms into another
one via a first-order phase transition, is an intriguing phenomenon that has changed our …

Water is a complex liquid that displays a surprising array of unusual properties, the most
famous being the density maximum at about 4° C. The origin of these anomalies is still a …

We investigate, for two water models displaying a liquid–liquid critical point, the relation
between changes in dynamic and thermodynamic anomalies arising from the presence of …

There are at least three fundamental states of matter, depending upon temperature and
pressure: gas, liquid, and solid (crystal). These states are separated by first-order phase …

A parameter set for Tersoff potential has been developed to investigate the structural
properties of Si–O systems. The potential parameters have been determined based on ab …
