Gas-liquid coexistence for the boson square-well fluid and the (4)He binodal anomaly

Abstract:
The binodal of a boson square-well fluid is determined as a function of the particle mass through a quantum Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo algorithm devised by R. Fantoni and S. Moroni [J. Chem. Phys. (to be published)]. In the infinite mass limit we recover the classical result. As the particle mass decreases, the gas-liquid critical point moves at lower temperatures. We explicitly study the case of a quantum delocalization de Boer parameter close to the one of (4)He. For comparison, we also determine the gas-liquid coexistence curve of (4)He for which we are able to observe the binodal anomaly below the λ-transition temperature.
