“…Together with previous work [4,5,6,7], these results lend strong support to the scenario that the liquid-gas spinodal and the glass transition line should typically intersect at a finite low temperature. Unlike previous work, where the results were based either on simulations, or on assumed model energy landscapes, our calculations describe a realistic model glass former, whose properties are evaluated within a self-contained and accurate framework.…”

A liquid can exist under conditions of thermodynamic stability or metastability within boundaries defined by the liquid-gas spinodal and the glass transition line. The relationship between these boundaries has been investigated previously using computer simulations, the energy landscape formalism, and simplified model calculations. We calculate these stability boundaries semi-analytically for a model glass forming liquid, employing accurate liquid state theory and a first-principles approach to the glass transition. These boundaries intersect at a finite temperature, consistent with previous simulation-based studies.

“…The volume dependences of the landscape parameters have been studied numerically for the BMLJ [39], SPC/E [38] and LW-OTP [19,48] models. In the case of soft spheres (see equation (48)) the self-similar nature of the interaction potential fixes the volume dependence of the landscape parameters.…”

These notes review the potential energy landscape thermodynamic formalism and some of its recent applications to the study of supercooled glass forming liquids. They also review the techniques which have been recently developed to quantify the statistical properties of the landscape, i.e. the number and the distribution in energy of the local minima of the surface for bulk systems. A critical examination of the approximations involved in such a calculation and results for models of simple and molecular liquids are reported. Finally, these notes discuss how an equation of state, expressed only in terms of statistical properties of the landscape, can be derived and under which conditions such an equation of state can be generalized to describe out-of-equilibrium liquids.

At low enough density the inherent structure equation of state extends to negative pressure, as the cohesive interactions among particles allow the system to support isotropic tension.…”

In particle systems with cohesive interactions, the pressure-density relationship of the mechanically stable inherent structures sampled along a liquid isotherm (i.e., the equation of state of an energy landscape) will display a minimum at the Sastry density ρ. The tensile limit at ρ is due to cavitation that occurs upon energy minimization, and previous characterizations of this behavior suggested that ρ is a spinodal-like limit that separates all homogeneous and fractured inherent structures. Here, we revisit the phenomenology of Sastry behavior and find that it is subject to considerable finite-size effects, and the development of the inherent structure equation of state with system size is consistent with the finite-size rounding of an athermal phase transition. What appears to be a continuous spinodal-like point at finite system sizes becomes discontinuous in the thermodynamic limit, indicating behavior akin to a phase transition. We also study cavitation in glassy packings subjected to athermal expansion. Many individual expansion trajectories averaged together produce a smooth equation of state, which we find also exhibits features of finite-size rounding, and the examples studied in this work give rise to a larger limiting tension than for the corresponding landscape equation of state.
