Resumen:
In this work we studied the effect of NaClon the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of supercooled water using molecular dynamic simulations for TIP5P/E water model and ion parameters specially designed to be used in combination with this potential. We studied the isobaric heat capacity (Cp) temperature dependence and observed a maximum in Cp, at Tm, that moves to lower temperature values with increasing salt concentration. Many characteristic changes were observed at scaled temperature T/Tm aproximately 0.96, namely a minimum in the density of the system, a reduction of the slope of the number of hydrogen bonds vs temperature, and a crossover from VTF to Arrhenius dynamics. Finally, at low temperatures we observed that water dynamics become heterogeneous with an apparenly universal relationship between the fraction of immobile molecules and T/Tm for all studied systems.
