✦ Synopsis

The "van der Waals loop" is observed below the critical point in the phase diagram calculated by standard computer simtdations. We tried to remove this artificial behavior by modifying the interparticle potential and treating large systems. With this new method, we can make most of the unstable region in the phase diagram vanish. Detailed investigations were aimed at inhomogeneous fluid structures, which cannot be seen in small systems.

We have shown previously that the 'van der Waals loop' of the equation of state, an artifact which appeared in computer simulations for small-size systems, can be removed by enlarging the system size. In this Letter we argue that a large system size simulation is required only when the surface free
