Structural Evolution in Molten Tin and Bismuth under Extreme Conditions
-
摘要: 液体作为物质的基本形态之一，广泛存在于自然界以及诸多工程领域所涉及的宽广热力学状态区间，探索和认知特定热力学条件下液体的结构、性质及其演化规律，无论在物理、化学、地球及行星科学等前沿基础领域，还是在冶金化工、国防安全等工程领域，都具有极其重要的科学与应用价值。在高温高压等极端条件下，即使单组分液体也可能存在两种或两种以上的结构，它们之间的转变称为液-液转变。简要回顾了金属熔体锡和铋在结构方面取得的最新进展，并讨论了如何在物理上更加合理地理解单组分物质中两种或多种液体的存在，为深入理解液体性质及复杂相图提供参考。Abstract: Liquids are an intriguing state of condensed matter with a density close to that of the solid-state but with all atoms undergoing continuous diffusive motions, resulting in an absence of long-range structural order. Understanding the structural evolution of liquids under extreme conditions is important for fundamental physics, chemistry, materials and planetary science. Two or more liquid states may exist even for single-component substances, which is known as liquid polymorphism, and the transition between them is called liquid-liquid transition. In situ experiments and atomic simulations can provide crucial insight into the nature of liquid-liquid phase transitions, paving the way toward understanding the complex phase diagrams and melting behavior under high pressure. In this paper, we reviewed the research progress on the structure of metallic molten Sn and Bi, and discussed how to gain a more physically understanding of the existence of two or more liquids in a single-component substance but also provided information for in-depth understanding of liquid properties and complex phase diagrams.
