Anomalous behavior of water in superooled region (namely decrease of density and sharp increase of response functions at atmospheric pressure) are manly associated with either existence of liquid-liquid criticality or re-entering…
The stability-limit conjecture (SLC) proposes that the liquid spinodal of water returns to positive pressure in the supercooled region, and that the apparent divergence of water's thermodynamic response functions as temperature decreases…
The striking behavior of water has deserved it to be referred to as an "anomalous" liquid. The water anomalies are greatly amplified in metastable (supercooled/stretched) regions. This makes difficult a complete experimental description…
One of the most promising frameworks for understanding the anomalies of cold and especially supercooled water is that of two-structure thermodynamics, in which water is viewed as a non-ideal mixture of two interconvertible local structures.…
A re-entrant gas-liquid spinodal was proposed as a possible explanation of the apparent divergence of the compressibility and specific heat on supercooling water. Such a counter intuitive possibility, e.g. a liquid that becomes unstable to…
One of the most promising frameworks for understanding the anomalies of cold and supercooled water postulates the existence of two competing, interconvertible local structures. If the non-ideality in the Gibbs energy of mixing overcomes the…

A popular hypothesis that explains the anomalies of supercooled water is the existence of a metastable liquid-liquid transition hidden below the line of homogeneous nucleation. If this transition exists and if it is terminated by a critical…

The thermodynamic properties of the supercooled liquid state of the mW model of water show anomalous behavior. Like in real water, the heat capacity and compressibility sharply increase upon supercooling. One of the possible explanations of…
Twenty years ago Poole et al. (Nature 360, 324, 1992) suggested that the anomalous properties of supercooled water may be caused by a critical point that terminates a line of liquid-liquid separation of lower-density and higher-density…
We review the available experimental information on the thermodynamic properties of supercooled ordinary and heavy water and demonstrate the possibility of modeling these thermodynamic properties on a theoretical basis. We show that by…
We introduce a model of water contemplating true supercooled-liquid states that, as such, are metastable with respect to the crystalline-solid ones. Its numerical solutions reproduce from Speedy-Angell's stability-limit picture to Poole et…
