Water confined between two graphene layers with a small separation forms a two-dimensional ice structure,with an apparent square symmetry [Algara-Siller et al., Nature (London) 519, 443 (2015)], which is poorly understood. A density…
An external electric field changes the physical properties of polar-liquids due to the reorientation of their permanent dipoles. For example it should affect significantly the physical properties of water confined in a nanochannel. The…
A generally accepted understanding of the anomalous properties of water will only emerge if it becomes possible to systematically characterize water in the deeply supercooled regime, from where the anomalies appear to emanate. This has…
Within the so-called "no-man's land" between about 150 and 235 K, crystallization of bulk water is inevitable. The glasslike freezing and a liquid-to-liquid transition of water, predicted to occur in this region, can be investigated by…

Various properties of water are affected by confinement as the space-filling of the water molecules is very different from bulk water. In our study, we challenged the creation of a stable system in which water molecules are permanently…

Water has many anomalous properties compared to "simple" liquids, and these anomalies are typically enhanced in supercooled water. While numerous models have been proposed, including the liquid-liquid critical point, the singularity-free…
The process of homogeneous crystal nucleation has been considered in a model liquid, where the interparticle interaction is described by a short-range spherical oscillatory potential. Mechanisms of initiating structural ordering in the…
