The phonon theory of liquid thermodynamics
TLDR
A phonon theory of liquids is developed where the perceived difficulty is that interactions in a liquid are both strong and system-specific, implying that the energy strongly depends on the liquid type and that liquid energy can not be calculated in general form.Abstract:
Heat capacity of matter is considered to be its most important property because it holds information about system's degrees of freedom as well as the regime in which the system operates, classical or quantum. Heat capacity is well understood in gases and solids but not in the third main state of matter, liquids and is not discussed in physics textbooks as a result. The perceived difficulty is that interactions in a liquid are both strong and system-specific, implying that the energy strongly depends on the liquid type and that, therefore, liquid energy can not be calculated in general form. Here, we develop a phonon theory of liquids where this problem is avoided. The theory covers both classical and quantum regimes. We demonstrate good agreement of calculated and experimental heat capacity of 21 liquids, including noble, metallic, molecular and hydrogen-bonded network liquids in a wide range of temperature and pressure.read more

Collective modes and thermodynamics of the liquid state
TL;DR: The emergent view of liquids is summarized, as a unique system with a mixed dynamical state, and several areas where interesting insights may appear are listed, to continue the extraordinary liquid story.

"Liquid-gas" transition in the supercritical region: fundamental changes in the particle dynamics.
TL;DR: This paper focuses on the dynamics of model Lennard-Jones and soft-sphere fluids and shows that the location of the line can be rigorously and quantitatively established on the basis of the velocity autocorrelation function and mean-square displacements.

Plasma physics of liquids—A focused review
Patrick Vanraes,Annemie Bogaerts +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the plasma physics of liquids can be found in this paper, where the main difficulties in understanding revolve around the basic mechanisms of plasma initiation in the liquid phase and the electrical interactions at a plasma-liquid interface, which require an interdisciplinary approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermodynamic behaviour of supercritical matter
TL;DR: It is discovered that specific heat shows a crossover between two different regimes, an unexpected result in view of currently perceived homogeneity of supercritical state in terms of physical properties, and a theory of system thermodynamics above the crossover is formulated.

Simple liquids' quasiuniversality and the hard-sphere paradigm.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the quasi-universality of simple liquids' structure and dynamics and two possible justifications of it, one based on the van der Waals picture of liquids in which the hard-sphere system reflects the basic physics, and the other based on all quasiuniversal liquids to a good approximation conform to the same equation of motion.

TL;DR: This article showed that water can exist in two distinct "glassy" forms, low and high density amorphous ice, which may provide the key to understanding some of the puzzling characteristics of cold and supercooled water.

TL;DR: The solution of the general equations should be established as rigorously as the present knowledge of the fundamental law permits ; the solution of these equations may, however, be obtained by approximations suited to the case.
