Three-body interactions significantly impact solid-liquid phase boundaries for noble gases, increasing pressure and lowering densities. These interactions are crucial for accurate pressure calculations in molecular dynamics simulations.

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • Understanding solid-liquid phase equilibria is fundamental in condensed matter physics.
  • Accurate modeling requires consideration of interatomic forces, including many-body effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of three-body interactions on the solid-liquid phase boundaries of argon, krypton, and xenon.
  • To quantify the contribution of three-body forces to phase transition pressures and densities.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a novel technique combining nonequilibrium and equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations.
  • Evaluated two- and three-body forces using accurate intermolecular potentials.

Main Results:

  • Three-body interactions substantially increase coexistence pressure and decrease liquid and solid phase densities.
