Phase transition in expanded matter
Stishov S. M.
The gas-liquid phase transition falls in the category of transitions which occur in expanded matter as the result of a local volume instability. In general, these transitions are not accompanied by changes in the state of aggregation of the matter. A phase transition in expanded matter is controlled by the behavior of the bulk modulus. The relation between the interaction energy and the temperature plays no special role.
