Gas-solid coexistence of adhesive spheres
P. Charbonneau, D. Frenkel
TL;DR
This paper explores the phase behavior of adhesive spheres, focusing on the gas-liquid critical point's position relative to solidification, using free energy analysis and discussing experimental and simulation implications.
Contribution
It introduces a theoretical analysis of the gas-liquid critical point in adhesive spheres with narrow attractions, including the Baxter limit, and discusses potential realizations.
Findings
Critical point location depends on interaction range.
Narrow attractive interactions influence phase stability.
Potential experimental setups for observing the critical point.
Abstract
In this note we investigate using basic free energy considerations the location of the gas-liquid critical point with respect to solidification for narrow attractive interactions down to the Baxter limit. Possible experimental and simulation realizations leading to a stable critical point are briefly discussed.
