Gas-liquid coexistence for the bosons square-well fluid and the $\mbox{}^4$He binodal anomaly

Abstract

The binodal of a boson square-well fluid is determined as a function of the particle mass through the newly devised quantum Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo algorithm [R. Fantoni and S. Moroni, {\sl to be published}]. In the infinite mass limit we recover the classical result. As the particle mass decreases the gas-liquid critical point moves at lower temperatures. We explicitely study the case of a quantum delocalization de Boer parameter close to the one of $\mbox{}^4$He. For comparison we also determine the gas-liquid coexistence curve of $\mbox{}^4$He for which we are able to observe the binodal anomaly below the $\lambda$-transition temperature.
