Figure 1

The “exact” phase diagram for hard spheres with an infinitely long-ranged attraction or repulsion; in the $\eta$-$a$ plane, where $\eta$ is the volume fraction occupied by the hard cores. The solid curves separate the 1 and 2 phase regions; the 2 phase region is marked by a 2 and the 1 phase fluid and crystal regions are marked by an F and an X, respectively. Microphase separation occurs between the vertical dashed lines, and is denoted by an M. The horizontal dotted line joins the three coexisting densities at the triple point.Reuse & Permissions
