Abstract:
The Monte Carlo simulation method in the grand canonical ensemble is used to study the phase behavior of two-dimensional symmetrical binary mixtures of Lennard-Jones particles with negative nonadditivity and the weaker interaction between the pairs of unlike than between the pairs of like particles. We have determined the evolution of the phase diagram topology when the parameters describing the interaction between unlike particles vary. It has been found that such systems may exhibit reentrant miscibility in the liquid and the solid phases.
