Ultrasoft Classical Systems at Zero Temperature

At low temperatures, classical ultrasoft particle systems develop interesting phases via the self-assembly of particle clusters. In this study, we reach analytical expressions for the energy and the density interval of the coexistence regions for general ultrasoft pairwise potentials at zero tempera...

description At low temperatures, classical ultrasoft particle systems develop interesting phases via the self-assembly of particle clusters. In this study, we reach analytical expressions for the energy and the density interval of the coexistence regions for general ultrasoft pairwise potentials at zero temperatures. We use an expansion in the inverse of the number of particles per cluster for an accurate determination of the different quantities of interest. Differently from previous works, we study the ground state of such models, in two and three dimensions, considering an integer cluster occupancy number. The resulting expressions were successfully tested in the small and large density regimes for the Generalized Exponential Model α, varying the value of the exponent.
