  • Title: Spurious violation of the Stokes-Einstein-Debye relation in supercooled water.
    Author: Kawasaki T, Kim K.
    Journal: Sci Rep; 2019 May 31; 9(1):8118. PubMed ID: 31148561.
    Abstract:
    The theories of Brownian motion, the Debye rotational diffusion model, and hydrodynamics together provide us with the Stokes-Einstein-Debye (SED) relation between the rotational relaxation time of the [Formula: see text]-th degree Legendre polynomials [Formula: see text], and viscosity divided by temperature, η/T. Experiments on supercooled liquids are frequently performed to measure the SED relations, [Formula: see text]kBT/η and Dt[Formula: see text], where Dt is the translational diffusion constant. However, the SED relations break down, and its molecular origin remains elusive. Here, we assess the validity of the SED relations in TIP4P/2005 supercooled water using molecular dynamics simulations. Specifically, we demonstrate that the higher-order [Formula: see text] values exhibit a temperature dependence similar to that of η/T, whereas the lowest-order [Formula: see text] values are decoupled with η/T, but are coupled with the translational diffusion constant Dt. We reveal that the SED relations are so spurious that they significantly depend on the degree of Legendre polynomials.
