A hallmark of a thermodynamic phase transition is the qualitative change of system thermodynamic properties such as energy and heat capacity. On the other hand, no phase transition is thought to operate in the supercritical state of matter…

Supercooled water exhibits a breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation between the diffusion constant $D$ and the alpha relaxation time $\tau_{\alpha}$. For water simulated with the TIP5P and ST2 potentials, we find that the temperature of…
