Slow dynamics in supercooled water Original Research Article

This article reviews some recent results on the dynamics of water in deeply supercooled states, extracted from the analysis of a series of long molecular dynamics simulations. It shows that mode-coupling theory (MCT) offers a reference framework for the understanding of the dynamics in simulated supercooled water above a dynamical critical temperature. Interestingly enough, the temperature region where supercooled water exists coincides with the region where the ideal MCT holds. Finally, it briefly discusses the implication of such findings on the interpretation of the thermodynamic behavior of supercooled water.
