The liquid phase spans all temperatures, from a metastable amorphous ground state at 0K, to ultra-high T. There is a supercritical mesophase bounded by two 2nd-order percolation transition loci, and a gas phase. Intersection of two percolation loci in the p-T plane thermodynamically defines an equilibrium line of critical density states.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-06-13T13:24:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fluid phases", "literature experimental density-pressure isotherms", "2nd-order percolation transition loci", "liquid phase spans", "p-t plane thermodynamically defines" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1206.2638W" } } }
