Title: Liquid-liquid equilibrium for monodisperse spherical particles

Journal Article · · Physical Review E

A system of identical particles interacting through an isotropic potential that allows for two preferred interparticle distances is numerically studied. When the parameters of the interaction potential are adequately chosen, the system exhibits coexistence between two different liquid phases (in addition to the usual liquid-gas coexistence). It is shown that this coexistence can occur at equilibrium, namely, in the region in which the liquid is thermodynamically stable.
