Square shoulder + square well model
The Square shoulder + square well model consists, as its name suggests, of a combination of the square shoulder model and the square well model. The model is given by

Liquid-liquid transition[edit]
For certain parameter sets the square shoulder + square well model has a liquid-liquid transition along with a corresponding liquid-liquid critical point [1] [2] [3] [4].
