Abstract:
We report the accurate determination of solid-liquid equilibria using a novel molecular simulation method that can be used for solid-liquid equilibria from low to high pressures. A re-evaluation is reported of the solid-liquid equilibria of the noble gases interacting via ab initio two-body potentials combined with three-body interactions and quantum corrections and the results are compared with both existing simulation data and experimental values. The new simulation method yields results that are generally in closer agreement with the experiment than exiting methods, highlighting the important role of the method in fully understanding the interatomic interactions responsible for solid-liquid equilibria. The quality of the comparison of simulation results with the experiment indicates that the solid-liquid equilibria of the noble gases can be now predicted with exceptional accuracy over a large range of pressures.
