Revealing Liquid-Gas Transitions with Finite-Size Scaling in Confined Systems

Chong Zha, Yanshuang Chen, Cheng-Ran Du +2

The application of an external field often renders empirical criteria for identifying liquid-gas phase transitions ambiguous. Here, we demonstrate that the finite-size scaling of t…
