Gas-solid coexistence of adhesive spheres
arXiv:cond-mat/0703378 · doi:10.1063/1.2737051
Abstract
In this note we investigate using basic free energy considerations the location of the gas-liquid critical point with respect to solidification for narrow attractive interactions down to the Baxter limit. Possible experimental and simulation realizations leading to a stable critical point are briefly discussed.
