Abstract
We calculated the inherent structure of a model melt of zinc (II) bromide o ver a wide range of densities. Stable, metastable, and unstable branches we re obtained for the zero temperature pressure-volume isotherm of the inhere nt structure. The pressure-volume isotherm, the void distribution, and the structure factor were used to identify the spinodal, independent of any mod el equation of state. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics.
