Abstract

A lattice model that displays anomalous density behavior and exhibits a reentrant spinodal is developed. This model is solved in the mean field approximation and the interrelation between density maxima and the reentrance of the spinodal is explicitly demonstrated. The limits of stability of the liquid phase are obtained at positive as well as negative pressures, and the nature of the limits of stability clarified. The interplay between local energy and local entropy is found to control the thermodynamics of the system.
