A System with Multiple Liquid-Liquid Critical Points

Soft Condensed Matter 2015-06-24 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

We study a three-dimensional system of particles interacting via spherically-symmetric pair potentials consisting of several discontinuous steps. We show that at certain values of the parameters desribing the potential, the system has three first-order phase transitions between fluids of different densities ending in three critical points.
