Evidence of Liquid-Liquid Phase Transitions in Real Systems
Condensed Matter lunchtime seminar
Evidence of Liquid-Liquid Phase Transitions in Real Systems
- Event time: 1:00pm
- Event date: 10th July 2000
- Speaker: James Magee (University of Edinburgh)
- Location: Room 2511, James Clerk Maxwell Building (JCMB) James Clerk Maxwell Building Peter Guthrie Tait Road Edinburgh EH9 3FD GB
Event details
Recent experimental work strongly suggests the existence of
thermodynamically stable liquid-liquid phase separation in both molten
phosphorus and molten carbon. This talk will discuss the experimental and
theoretical evidence for both of these, and their relevance to the
possibility of a similar transition in deeply supercooled water.

About Condensed Matter lunchtime seminars
This is a weekly series of informal talks given primarily by members of the institute of condensed matter and complex systems, but is also open to members of other groups and external visitors. The aim of the series is to promote discussion and learning of various topics at a level suitable to the broad background of the group. Everyone is welcome to attend..
