Exploring the validity of the Stokes–Einstein relation in supercooled water using nanomolecular probes
Sharon Berkowicz, Fivos Perakis
Abstract
We investigate the diffusive dynamics of nanomolecular probes in supercooled water and find that, contrary to pure water, the Stokes–Einstein relation is preserved for probes independent of size, from 100 nm to ≈1 nm polyhydroxylated fullerenes.
