Potential tuning in the S-W system. (i) Bringing Tc,2 to ambient pressure, and (ii) colliding Tc,2 with the liquid-vapor spinodal

C. Austen Angell, Vitaliy Kapko

Following Vasisht et al's identification of the second critical point (Tc2,Pc2) for liquid silicon in the Stillinger-Weber (S-W) model for silicon, we study the variation of Tc2,Pc…
