Structural and dynamical properties of water under high temperatures and pressures

Ikeda, Takashi; Katayama, Yoshinori

Although liquid water is one of the most abundant materials on earth and most familiar to all of us, the present understanding of liquid water exhibiting various interesting properties depending on the environment is still far from satisfactory. Hence, it is still one of main subjects in vast research fields including physics, chemistry, and biology. In this contribution, we first describe the structural and dynamical properties of water under high temperatures and pressures revealed by combining advanced first principles molecular dynamics simulations and in situ X-ray diffraction experiments. Then, the future prospects for investigating water under higher pressures and temperatures are summarized.
