Structural Order for One-Scale and Two-Scale Potentials Zhenyu Yan Advisor: H. Eugene Stanley Collaborators: Sergey V. Buldyrev, NicolasGiovambattista, Center for Polymer Studies and Department of Physics, Boston University For details see: Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 130604 (Sep, 2005)
Motivation: anomalies of water Density anomaly of water Diffusion anomaly of water T=350k TMD T=220k DM DM: Diffusion Maximum/Minimum TMD: Temperature of Maximum Density Recent Finding in water: structural anomaly coupled with density and diffusion anomaly J. R.. Errington and P. G.Debenedetti,Nature409, 318 (2001).
Questions ? 1. Arethe strong orientational tetrahedral interactions necessary for water anomalies ? 2. Can we find water-like anomalies in simple liquids (monatomic model with simple potential)? If YES, then what features should be present in the potential in order to get water-like anomalies ?
The models: one-scale and two-scale ramp potentials one-scale two-scale U(r) U(r) σ0/ σ1=0 σ0 σ1 σ1 r r TMD, DM TMD, DM E. A. Jagla, J. Chem. Phys. 111, 8980 (1999)
Result: phase diagrams One-Scale Two-Scale isochores isochores DM TMD DM TMD Region of DM encloses the region of TMD
How to quantify structural order Two basic types of order: . Orientational order: degree to adopt specific local structure (space angle) Water: tetrahedrality, Ramp potential: FCC Translational order t: degree to adopt preferential separations (distance) The value increases with increasing order
Result: structural order for ramp potentials tmax tmin isotherms tmin tmax Qmax Qmax isotherms tmax and tmin for both one-scale and two-scale, Qmax only for two-scale ramp
Result: order maps isotherm two-scale ramp water T=0.03 T=260k t t Q q water Q T=0.03 isotherms T=220k T=0.1 t T=260k Inaccessible region T=350k q Two-scale ramp order map is similar to water
Result: anomalous regions of density, diffusion and structure water Qmax tmin tmax tmin Qmax DM tmax DM tmin DM TMD TMD TMD Two-scale ramp is similar to water
Summary and Conclusion 1. Arethe strong orientational tetrahedral interactions necessary for water anomalies ? Not necessary 2. Can we find water-like anomalies in simple liquids with simple potentials ? yes If YES, then what features should be present in the potential in order to get water-like anomalies ? It suggests that the water-like behavior is related to two characteristic repulsive length scales in potentials.
