This study investigates the (longitudinal) thermodynamic and structural characteristics of single-file confined square-well and square-shoulder disks by employing a mapping technique that transforms the original system into a one-dimensional polydisperse mixture of nonadditive rods. Leveraging standard statistical-mechanical techniques, exact results are derived for key properties, including the equation of state, internal energy, radial distribution function, and structure factor. The asymptotic behavior of the radial distribution function is explored, revealing structural changes in the spatial correlations. Additionally, exact analytical expressions for the second virial coefficient are presented. The theoretical results for the thermodynamic and structural properties are validated by our Monte Carlo simulations.

The discrete hard-sphere (HS), square-well (SW), and square-shoulder (SS) potentials have become the battle horse of molecular and complex fluids because they contain the basic elements to describe the thermodynamic, structural, and transport properties of both types of fluids. The mathematical simplicity of these discrete potentials allows us to obtain some analytical results despite the nature and complexity of the modeled systems. However, the divergent forces arising at the potential discontinuities may lead to severe issues when discrete potentials are used in computer simulations with uniform time steps.

The generalized continuous multiple step (GCMS) potential is presented in this work. Its flexible form allows forand/orcontributions to be encoded through adjustable energy and length scales. The GCMS interaction provides a continuous representation of square-well, square-shoulder potentials and their variants for implementation in computer simulations.

Competing interaction fluids have become ideal model systems to study a large number of phenomena, for example, the formation of intermediate range order structures, condensed phases not seen in fluids driven by purely attractive or repulsive forces, the onset of particle aggregation under in- and out-of-equilibrium conditions, which results in the birth of reversible and irreversible aggregates or clusters whose topology and morphology depend additionally on the thermodynamic constrictions, and a particle dynamics that has a strong influence on the transport behaviour and rheological properties of the fluid. In this contribution, we study a system of particles interacting through a potential composed by a continuous succession of a short-ranged square-well (SW), an intermediate-ranged square-shoulder and a long-ranged SW. This potential model is chosen to systematically analyse the contribution of every component of the interaction potential on the phase behaviour, the microstructure, the morphology of the resulting aggregates and the transport phenomena of fluids described by competing interactions.
