Abstract
The phase diagram of a system of hard ellipsoids of revolution was investigated by means of constant-pressure Monte Carlo simulation. Prolate as well as oblate ellipsoids were considered. The results for the isotherms of the system at several different values of the length-to-breadth ratio are presented. Four different phases of the system are identified and a tentative picture of the phase diagram is given.Keywords
