Universal behavior of soft-core fluids near the threshold of thermodynamic stability

Gianpietro Malescio, Alberto Parola, Santi Prestipino

We study, by using liquid-state theories and Monte Carlo simulation, the behavior of systems of classical particles interacting through a finite pair repulsion supplemented with a…

Phase behavior near and beyond the thermodynamic stability threshold

Gianpietro Malescio, Santi Prestipino

The phase behavior of stabilized dispersions of macromolecules is most easily described in terms of the effective interaction between the centers of mass of solute particles. For m…

Shapes of a liquid droplet in a periodic box

S. Prestipino, C. Caccamo, D. Costa +2

Within the coexistence region between liquid and vapor the equilibrium pressure of a simulated fluid exhibits characteristic jumps and plateaus when plotted as a function of densit…

On the determination of phase boundaries via thermodynamic integration across coexistence regions

M. C. Abramo, C. Caccamo, D. Costa +4

Specialized Monte Carlo methods are nowadays routinely employed, in combination with thermodynamic integration (TI), to locate phase boundaries of classical many-particle systems.…

Phase behavior of a double-Gaussian fluid displaying water-like features

C. Speranza, S. Prestipino, G. Malescio +1

Pair potentials that are bounded at the origin provide an accurate description of the effective interaction for many systems of dissolved soft macromolecules (e.g., flexible dendri…

Twofold reentrant melting in a double-Gaussian fluid

S. Prestipino, C. Speranza, G. Malescio +1

Isotropic pair potentials that are bounded at the origin have been proposed from time to time as models of the effective interaction between macromolecules of interest in the chemi…
