Energy landscapes and their relation to thermodynamic phase transitions
Michael Kastner
In order to better understand the occurrence of phase transitions, we adopt an approach based on the study of energy landscapes: The relation between stationary points of the poten…

Nonanalyticities of the entropy induced by saddle points of the potential energy landscape
Michael Kastner, Oliver Schnetz, Steffen Schreiber
The relation between saddle points of the potential of a classical many-particle system and the analyticity properties of its Boltzmann entropy is studied. For finite systems, each…
