Monte Carlo Calculations for Liquid ${}^4$He at Negative Pressure

Abstract

A Quadratic Diffusion Monte Carlo method has been used to obtain the equation of state of liquid ${}^4$He including the negative pressure region down to the spinodal point. The atomic interaction used is a renewed version (HFD-B(HE)) of the Aziz potential, which reproduces quite accurately the features of the experimental equation of state. The spinodal pressure has been calculated and the behavior of the sound velociy around the spinodal density has been analyzed.
