Abstract
Using neutron diffraction technique we measure the average density of the heavy water confined in a nanoporous silica matrix, MCMR-41, over the pressure-temperature plane. The result suggest the existence of a line of liquid-liquid phase transition with its end point at 1.3 +- 0.3 kbar and 213 +- 3 K. This point is the liquid-liquid critical point (LLCP) according to the "liquid-liquid critical point" scenario. The phase diagram of the deeply cooled confined heavy water is discussed.Citation
