Similar phase behaviors shared by very different materials:

Liquid-liquid phase transition: Tetrahedrally structured systems: water, Si, Ge, SiO2, BeF2 Metallic system: such as Y3Al5O12

Polyamorphism (amorphous-amorphous transition under pressure)

Tetrahedrally structured systems: water, Ge Metallic system: Ce55Al45

Motivation

Common feature: involving two local structures, with one having larger open spaces between particles that collapse under pressure.

Question: Universal model that determine whether these features and phenomena are related or exist independently

Conclusion IConclusion I

The two-scale model can reproduce water-like anomalies

Thermodynamic and dynamic quantities shows changes upon crossing the Widom line, not upon crossing the coexistence line

Provide a way for experiments to locate the possible existence of liquid-liquid critical point

Maybe not hydrogen bond, not tetrahedral local structure, but the two-scale matters for water-like anomalies?

Conclusion IIIConclusion III

Fractional Stokes-Einstein Relation is correlated with the onset of a different structure

A structural origin for the failure of the SER can be understood by recognizing that the SE relation defines an effective hydrodynamic radius.

The different species have different hydrodynamic radii, so when their relative population changes, the classical SER breaks down.
