TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the EOS of classical systems having 300 and 512 particles confined in a box with periodic boundary conditions and obtained an analytical EOS around the critical point in good agreement with the one extracted from the numerical simulations.About:

Microscopic model approaches to fragmentation of nuclei and phase transitions in nuclear matter
J. Richert,P. Wagner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of excited nuclear matter and the quest for a phase transition which is expected to exist in this system are the subject of intensive investigations, and the analysis of experimental data is confronted with two major problems, the setting up of thermodynamic equilibrium in a timedependent fragmentation process and the finite size of nuclei.

The many facets of the (non relativistic) Nuclear Equation of State
TL;DR: The nuclear equation of state displays many different features; first neutrons and protons might be treated as identical particles or nucleons, but when the differences between protons and neutrons are spelled out, we can have completely different scenarios, just by changing slightly their interactions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss experimental evidence for a nuclear phase transition driven by the different concentrations of neutrons to protons and discuss possible implications of these observations in terms of the Landau free energy description of critical phenomena.

Liquid-Gas Phase Transition in Nuclear Multifragmentation
TL;DR: In this paper, the possibility of studying nuclei far from normal conditions raises the question: can we study phase transitions in nuclei similar, for instance, to the way, one can study phase transition in water?

The theory of equilibrium critical phenomena
TL;DR: The theory of critical phenomena in systems at equilibrium is reviewed at an introductory level with special emphasis on the values of the critical point exponents α, β, γ,..., and their interrelations as mentioned in this paper.
Book
Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics
TL;DR: The structure of this book is based on a few guiding ideas as mentioned in this paper, including the lack of a rigid separation between classical and quantum statistical mechanics, which is the major defect in most books existing on the market.

The theory of condensation and the critical point
TL;DR: In this paper, the condensation point is marked by a singularity of the thermodynamic potential as conjectured by Mayer, and the singularity turns out to be an essential singularity at which all derivatives remain finite.

TL;DR: In this paper, a power-law dependence, isobaric yield was found to describe the data over a broad range of yields, which is a signature for the fragment formation mechanism.
