Liquid–liquid phase transition in deeply supercooled Stillinger–Weber silicon
Liquid–liquid phase transition in deeply supercooled Stillinger–Weber silicon
The existence of a phase transition between two distinct liquid phases in single-component network-forming liquids (e.g. water, silica, silicon) has elicited considerable scientific interest. The challenge, both for experiments and simulations, is that the liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT) occurs under deeply supercooled conditions, where crystallization occurs very rapidly. Thus, early …
