A new similarity found from the correspondence of the critical and Zeno-line parameters.
We find a new similarity based on the relation between the critical and unit compressibility line (Zeno-line) parameters. Our study relies on the fact that the Zeno-line must be tangential to the extension of the binodal liquid branch at the zero temperature domain. We show that this similarity faithfully describes both the numerical simulation data and experimental data for a wide class of real materials (17 gases, water, and 5 metals). Finally we make some predictions for metals which have critical parameters in the phase diagram domain still inaccessible for experiment.
