The relations (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) from equilibrium systems are estimated along an isochore as follows. First, we generate set of 2000�independent equilibrium configurations, with standard MD, at several different (Formula presented). All configurations are then minimized to generate the associated IS. For each (Formula presented), the average values of (Formula presented), (Formula presented), and (Formula presented) are then calculated, averaging over the generated inherent structures set.
