We propose a unified model combining the first-order liquid-liquid and the second-order ferroelectric phase transitions models and explaining various features of the $\lambda$-point of liquid water within a single theoretical framework. It…
The dielectric measurements of mesostructured silica MCM-41 with the pore diameter 3.5 nm at wettings close to maximal were carried out. The measurements were made by using the dielectric spectroscopy method at frequency interval from 25Hz…
The paper provides data on measuring electrical properties of supercooled water in nanoporous silica MCM-41 with 3.5 nm diameter cylindrical pores, using the methods of dielectric spectroscopy and measuring proper electrical fluctuations at…
We develop a series of approximations to calculate free energy of a polar liquid. We show that long range nature of dipole interactions between the molecules leads to para-electric state instability at low temperatures and to a second-order…
The distinctive characteristics of water, evident in its thermodynamic anomalies, have implications across disciplines from biology to geophysics. Considered a valid hypothesis to rationalize its unique properties, a liquid-liquid phase…
Over the last decade, an increasing body of evidence has emerged, supporting the existence of a metastable liquid-liquid critical point in supercooled water, whereby two distinct liquid phases of different densities coexist. Analysing long…
In this paper we present a review on our recent experimental investigations into the phase behavior of the deeply cooled water confined in a nanoporous silica material, MCM-41, with elastic neutron scattering technique. Under such strong…
Freestanding slender fluid filaments of room temperature ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals are described. They are stabilized either by internal electric fields of bound charges formed due to polarization splay, or by external voltage…
A novel liquid-liquid phase transition has been proposed and investigated in a wide variety of pure substances recently, including water, silica and silicon. From computer simulations using the Stillinger-Weber classical empirical…
A huge amount of water at supercritical conditions exists in Earth's interior, where its dielectric properties play a critical role in determining how it stores and transports materials. However, it is very challenging to obtain the static…
The recently discovered ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals have been reported to exhibit very large dielectric permittivity values. Here, we report a systematic investigation of the dielectric behavior of a prototypical ferroelectric…
Dielectric permittivity of supercooled volume water has been measured in the range of temperatures from $-20\,^{\circ}$C to $-60\,^{\circ}$C at the frequencies $7.6$~GHz and $9.7$~GHz. The measurements have been made using microwave…
We report the diffusion of water molecules confined in the pores of folded silica materials (FSM-12 with average pore diameter of $\sim$ 16 \AA), measured by means of quasielastic neutron scattering using the cold neutron chopper…
The temperature dependence (10-290 K) of the low-frequency (20-150 cm-1) Raman-active phonon modes of supercooled confined water in L,L-diphenylalanine micro/nanotubes was analysed. The isolated dynamics of a specific geometry of water…
We have studied the real part of the dielectric constant of water from 100 Hz to 1 MHz. We have found that there is a frequency where the dielectric constant is independent of temperature, and called this the isopermitive point. Below this…
Ferroelectric nematic fluids are promising materials for tunable nonlinear photonics, with applications ranging from second harmonic generation to sources of entangled photons. However, the few reported values of second-order…
In this experiment liquid water is subject to an inhomogeneous electric field (${\nabla}^2 E_a {\approx} 10^{10} \frac{V}{m^2}$ ) using a high voltage (20 kV) point-plane electrode system. With interferometry it was found that the…
Monte Carlo simulations are used to examine cooperative creation of polar state in fluids of two-state particles with nonzero dipole in the excited state. With lowering temperature such systems undergo a second order transition from…
We report ferrielectricity in a single-phase crystal, TSCC -- tris-sarcosine calcium chloride [(CH3NHCH2COOH)3CaCl2]. Ferrielectricity is well known in smectic liquid crystals but almost unknown in true crystalline solids. Pulvari reported…
Electric dipoles of water molecules, enclosed singly in regularly spaced nanopores of a cordierite crystal, become ordered at low temperature due to their mutual interaction and show the frequency dependence of their dielectric…
