Phase behavior of the Lattice Restricted Primitive Model with nearest-neighbor exclusion

Abstract

The global phase behavior of the lattice restricted primitive model with nearest neighbor exclusion has been studied by grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The phase diagram is dominated by a fluid (or charge-disordered solid) to charge-ordered solid transition that terminates at the maximum density, ${\rho }_{max}^{\ast }=\sqrt{2}$ and reduced temperature $T^{\ast }\approx 0.29$. At that point, there is a first-order phase transition between two phases of the same density, one charge-ordered and the other charge-disordered. The liquid-vapor transition for the model is metastable, lying entirely within the fluid-solid phase envelope.
