Fragile-to-strong crossover coupled to the liquid-liquid transition in hydrophobic solutions

Fragile-to-strong crossover coupled to the liquid-liquid transition in hydrophobic solutions

Using discrete molecular dynamics simulations we study the relation between the thermodynamic and diffusive behaviors of a primitive model of aqueous solutions of hydrophobic solutes consisting of hard spheres in the Jagla particles solvent, close to the liquid-liquid critical point of the solvent. We find that the fragile-to-strong dynamic transition …
