• TITLE: Fluid phases of argon: A debate on the absence of van der Waals’ “critical point”

  AUTHORS: Leslie V. Woodcock

  KEYWORDS: Critical Point; Supercritical Fluids; Liquid Phase

  ABSTRACT: A phase diagram of argon based upon percolation transition loci determined from literature experimental p-V isotherms, and simulation values using a Lennard-Jones model shows three fluid phases. The liquid phase spans all temperatures, from a metastable amorphous ground state at 0K, to ultra-high T. There is a supercritical mesophase bounded by percolation transition loci, and a gas phase. Intersection of two percolation loci in the p-T plane thermodynamically defines a critical line between two coexisting gas and liquid critical states at T = Tc, and the single mesophase for T > Tc. A debate on the absence of a van der Waals critical point in the Gibbs p-T density surface is appended.
