Abstract
Investigation of the longitudinal and transverse excitations in liquids is of great importance for understanding the fundamentals of the liquid state of matter. One of the important questions is the temperature and density dependence of the frequency of the excitations. In our recent works it was shown that while in simple liquids the frequency of longitudinal excitations increases when the temperature is increased isochorically, in water the frequency can anomalously decrease with the temperature increase. In the present manuscript we study the dispersion curves of longitudinal and transverse excitations of water and liquid silicon modelled by Stillinger-Weber (SW) potential. We show that both in liquid silicon and SW model of water the frequencies of longitudinal excitations slightly increase with temperature which is in contrast to the results for SPC/E model of water.
