Dynamic Crossover and Stepwise Solidification of Confined Water — •Matthias Sattig and Michael Vogel — Hochschulstraße 6, D-64289 Darmstadt
The dynamical behaviour of water in the regime of the supercooled liquid is still a topic of large interest. In particular, the existence of a fragile-to-strong transition (FST) at around 225K induced by a liquid-liquid phase transition (LL) is controversially discussed [1]. The proposed temperature range of the FST is hardly accessible in bulk water.
Our 2H NMR investigation reveals two dynamic crossovers of supercooled water in nanoscopic (nm) confinement. A dynamic crossover of liquid water at ca. 225K is accompanied by a formation of a fraction of solid water. Therefore, this effect can not be attributed to the LL, but rather to a change from liquid-like to interface-dominated dynamics. Moreover, the 2H NMR data yield evidence that the α process and β process are observed in experiments above and below this temperature, respectively. Upon cooling through a dynamic crossover at ca. 175K, the dynamics of the liquid fraction becomes anisotropic and localized, implying solidification of the corresponding water network, most probably, during a confinement-affected glass transition.
