We examine the discontinuous first-order superfluid $^3$He A to B transition in the vicinity of the polycritical point (2.232 mK and 21.22 bar). We find path-dependent transitions: cooling at fixed pressure yields a well defined transition…

Fluid polyamorphism is the existence of multiple fluid-fluid phase transitions in a single-component substance. It can occur due to interconversion between two alternative molecular or supramolecular states. In this work, we investigate a…

Recent experimental results indicate that phosphorus, a single-component system, can have two liquid phases: a high-density liquid (HDL) and a low-density liquid (LDL) phase. A first-order transition between two liquids of different…

Molecular Dynamic and Monte Carlo studies are performed in a family of core-softened (CS) potential, composed by two length scales: a repulsive shoulder at short distances and the another a variable scale, that can be repulsive or strongly…

Soft particles such as microgels and core-shell particles can undergo significant and anisotropic deformations when adsorbed to a liquid interface. This, in turn, leads to a complex phase behavior upon compression. Here we develop a…

We have studied the structure and thermodynamic properties of isotropic three-dimensional core-softened fluid by using the second-order Ornstein-Zernike integral equations completed by the hypernetted chain and Percus-Yevick closures. The…
