Water is the most abundant liquid on earth and also the substance with the largest number
of anomalies in its properties. It is a prerequisite for life and as such a most important subject …

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 …

Four scenarios have been proposed for the low-temperature phase behavior of liquid water,
each predicting different thermodynamics. The physical mechanism that leads to each is …

Nanoconfinement can drastically change the behavior of liquids, puzzling us with
counterintuitive properties. It is relevant in applications, including decontamination and …

This review is based on a talk by the authors at the field Scientific session of the Physical
Sciences Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences devoted to the 60th anniversary of …

This chapter describes that has sought to use information loss concepts and the relative
entropy as a thermodynamic framework for multiscale modeling, with a particular focus on …

In this work, we develop coarse-grained (CG) force fields for water, where the effective CG
intermolecular interactions between particles are estimated from an accurate description of …

We report a computer-simulation study of the equilibrium phase diagram of a three-
dimensional system of particles with a repulsive-shoulder potential. The phase diagram was …

We study the phase behavior of systems of particles interacting through pair potentials with a
hard core plus a soft repulsive component. We consider several different forms of soft …

It is known that there are thermodynamic states for which the Gaussian-core fluid displays
anomalous properties such as expansion upon isobaric cooling (density anomaly) and …
