Phase diagram is calculated by a recently proposed third-order thermodynamic perturbation theory (TPT) for fluid phase and a recently proposed first-order TPT for solid phases; the underlying interparticle potential consists of a hard sphere repulsion and a perturbation tail of an attractive inverse power law type or Yukawa type whose range varies with bulk densities. It is found that besides usual phase transitions associated with density-independent potentials, the density dependence of the perturbation tail evokes some additional novel phase transitions including isostructural solid-solid transition and liquid-liquid transition. Novel triple points are also exhibited which includes stable fluid (vapor or liquid)-face-centered cubic(fcc)-fcc and liquid-liquid-fcc, metastable liquid-body-centered cubic(bcc)-bcc. It also is found that the phase diagram sensitively depends on the density dependence and the concrete mathematical form of the underlying potentials. Some of the disclosed novel transitions has been observed experimentally in complex fluids and molecular liquids, while others still remain to be experimentally verified.
