| contents | At low temperatures ultrasoft particle systems develop interesting phases via the self-assembly of particle clusters. In this study we develop a general zero-temperature analysis fully characterizing the ground state of such models in two and three dimensions, considering the classical system with the restriction of a constant integer number of particles per cluster. We show that this methodology allows for an exact prediction of the actual density values at which the different phases emerge, including the zones of uneven cluster occupation, which are studied as coexistence regions of two pure phases. Beyond the method itself, designed to produce exact phase diagrams from general ultrasoft potentials, we reach analytical expressions for the energy and location of the different phases in the large occupancy limit. |
