Editing Ramp model

The '''ramp model''', proposed by Jagla 
<ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.480241 E. A. Jagla "Core-softened potentials and the anomalous properties of water", Journal of Chemical Physics' '''111''' pp. 8980-8986  (1999)]</ref>
and sometimes known as the '''Jagla model''', is described by:

:<math>
\Phi_{12}(r) = \left\{ 
\begin{array}{ll}
\infty & {\rm if} \; r < \sigma \\
W_r - (W_r-W_a) \frac{r-\sigma}{d_a-\sigma} & {\rm if} \; \sigma \leq r \leq d_a \\
W_a - W_a \frac{r-d_a}{d_c-d_a} &  {\rm if} \; d_a < r \leq d_c \\
0 &  {\rm if} \; r > d_c
\end{array} \right.
</math>

where <math>\Phi_{12}(r)</math> is the [[intermolecular pair potential]], <math>r := |\mathbf{r}_1 - \mathbf{r}_2|</math>, <math>W_r > 0</math> and <math>W_a < 0</math>.

Graphically, one has:

where the red line represents an attractive implementation of the model, and the green line  a repulsive implementation.
==Critical points==
For the particular case <math> W_r^*=3.5; W_a^*=-1.0, d_a^*=1.72, d_c^*=3.0 </math>,
the liquid-vapour critical point   is located at
<ref name="lomba">

</ref>:

:<math>T_c^* = 1.487 \pm 0.003</math>
:<math>\rho_c \sigma^3 = 0.103 \pm 0.001</math>
:<math>p_c^* \simeq 0.042</math>

and the [[Polyamorphic systems |liquid-liquid]] critical point:

:<math>T_c^* \simeq 0.378 \pm 0.003</math>
:<math>\rho_c \sigma^3  \simeq 0.380 \pm 0.002</math>
:<math>p_c^*/T_c^* \simeq 0.49 \pm 0.01</math>

While this liquid-liquid critical point was long held to be in the stable region of the phase diagram, a high density double-network structure was found to be thermodynamically more stable than the high-density liquid under any conditions.

== Repulsive Ramp Model ==
In the repulsive ramp case, where <math> W_a = 0 </math>, neither liquid-vapor nor liquid-liquid stable equilibria occur
<ref name="lomba"> </ref>. 
However, for this model a low density crystalline phase has been found.
This solid phase presents re-entrant melting, i.e. this solid melts into the fluid phase as the pressure is increased.

==== Lattice gas version  ====
Recently, similar  behaviour has been found in a three-dimensional Repulsive
Ramp [[lattice gas|Lattice Gas]] model

</ref>
The system is defined on a simple cubic lattice. The interaction is that of a [[lattice hard spheres|lattice
hard sphere]] model with exclusion of nearest neighbours of occupied positions plus a repulsive interaction
with next-to-nearest neighbours.
The total potential energy of the system is then given by:

:<math>
U = \epsilon \sum_{[ij]} S_i S_j
</math>

where <math> \epsilon > 0 </math> ; <math> [ij] </math> refers to all the pairs of sites that are
second neighbors, and <math> S_k </math> indicates the occupation of site <math> k </math>
(0 indicates an empty site, 1 indicates an occupied site).
