(color online) (a) The internal energy and (b) the expansion work at different temperature T from MD simulations (dot) and our method (solid line) for the systems composed of 500, 864, 1000 Ar atoms in a density of (gaseous state, denoted by G) or (liquid state, denoted by L). The internal energy for the liquid state was shifted by 60 eV for clear displaying.
