The Supercritical Fluid (SCF) is known to exhibit salient dynamic and thermodynamic crossovers and inhomogeneous molecular distribution. But the question as to what basic physics underlies these microscopic and macroscopic anomalies remains…
Can liquid-like and gas-like states be distinguished beyond the critical point, where the liquid-gas phase transition no longer exists and conventionally only a single supercritical fluid phase is defined? Recent experiments and simulations…
A large and mostly unexplored part of the phase diagram lies above the critical point. The supercritical matter was traditionally believed to be physically homogeneous with no discernible differences between liquidlike and gaslike states.…
Many physical systems, including classical fluids, present in their phase diagram the competition between two phases that are separated by a line of first-order phase transitions which terminates at a so-called critical point. Despite…
The state of matter above the critical point is terra incognita, and is loosely discussed as a physically homogeneous flowing state where no differences can be made between a liquid and a gas and where properties undergo no marked or…
We report on the coexistence of liquid-like and gas-like structures in supercritical fluid (SCF). The deltoid coexistence region encloses the Widom line, and may therefore be termed the "Widom delta". Machine learning analysis of simulation…
Supercritical fluids (SCFs) have long been considered homogeneous and structureless, yet recent studies suggest the existence of transient, liquid-like clusters under dynamic processes. In this study, we provide experimental evidence of…
Supercritical fluids play a significant role in elucidating fundamental aspects of liquid matter under extreme conditions. They have been extensively studied at pressures and temperatures relevant to various industrial applications.…
A revised phase diagram for water shows three distinct fluid phases. There is no continuity of liquid and gas and no critical point on Gibbs density surface. A liquid state, water, spans all temperatures. A thermodynamic rigidity function,…
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…
Since their discovery in 1822, supercritical fluids have been of enduring interest, and have started to be deployed in many important applications. Theoretical understanding of the supercritical state is lacking, and is seen to limit…
We find a thermodynamic description of gas-liquid criticality that is different from van der Waals and mean-field theories. At the critical temperature there is no critical point; a liquid phase coexists with a vapor phase with densities…
The supercritical state of matter is usually described as a continuous phase without sharp boundaries between liquid and gas regions. However, under non-equilibrium conditions, this view breaks down. Here we report an experimental…
The Frenkel line, a crossover line between rigid and nonrigid dynamics of fluid particles, has recently been the subject of intense debate regarding its relevance as a partitioning line of supercritical phase, where the main criticism comes…
The supercritical state is currently viewed as uniform on the pressure-temperature phase diagram. Supercritical fluids have the dynamic motions of a gas but are able to dissolve materials like a liquid. They have started to be deployed in…
Superconductivity (SC) or superfluidity (SF) is observed across a remarkably broad range of fermionic systems: in BCS, cuprate, iron-based, organic, and heavy-fermion superconductors, and superfluid helium-3 in condensed matter; in a…
Recently, we have proposed a new dynamic line on the phase diagram in the supercritical region. Crossing this line corresponds to the radical changes of the fluid properties. Here, we focus on the dynamics of model Lennard-Jones and…
The dynamics of supercritical fluids, a state of matter beyond the gas-liquid critical point, changes from diffusive to oscillatory motions at high pressure. This transition is believed to occur across a locus of thermodynamic states called…
The location of the Frenkel line (FL) of a Lennard-Jones fluid which demarcates two distinct physical states, liquidlike and gaslike within the supercritical regime, has been established through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the…
We investigate the supercritical crossovers for black hole thermodynamics in the supercritical regime beyond the critical point, where small and large black holes are indistinguishable from the conventional viewpoint. We establish a refined…
