Abstract
- Three distinct liquid–liquid coexistence regions were observed for ST2 model water by restricted ensemble Monte Carlo simulations of the isotherms of homogenized systems and by phase equilibria simulations in the Gibbs ensemble. The lowest density liquid–liquid transition meets the liquid–vapor phase transition at a triple point and ends in a metastable critical point. A percolation analysis evidences, that the phase separations at the lowest and highest densities can be attributed to the separation of differently coordinated water molecules. The densities of the obtained four phases of supercooled water correlate with experimentally observed densities of amorphous ice.
