AbstractThe microwave absorption of fresh ice subjected to plastic deformation when changing temperature from 0 to –60°C has been measured. A decrease in the losses of radiation transmission through ice at frequencies of 32 and 125 GHz with extremum at a temperature of –45°C was found. This temperature corresponds to the point at atmospheric pressure at the Widom line, which starts from a hypothetic second critical point in pressure–temperature phase space. The used measuring technique makes it possible to obtain layers of deeply supercooled water into ice and study the position of the Widom line and second critical point in phase space.

Abstract A smoking gun signature for a first-order phase transition with negative speed of sound squared $$ {c}_s^2 $$ c s 2 is the occurrence of a spinodal instability. In the gauge/gravity duality it corresponds to a Gregory-Laflamme type instability, which can be numerically simulated as the evolution of unstable planar black branes. Making use of holography its dynamics is studied far from and near a critical point with the following results. Near a critical point the interface between cold and hot stable phases, given by its width and surface tension, is found to feature a wider phase separation and a smaller surface tension. Far away from a critical point the formation time of the spinodal instability is reduced. Across softer and harder phase transitions, it is demonstrated that mergers of equilibrated peaks and unstable plateaux lead to the preferred final single phase separated solution. Finally, a new atypical setup with dissipation of a peak into a plateau is discovered. In order to distinguish the inhomogeneous states I propose a new criterium based on the maximum of the transverse pressure at the interface which encodes phase-mixed peaks versus fully phase separated plateaux.
