Abstract
A one-dimensional fluid with short-range repulsive interaction and one period of cosinusoidal attraction in a periodic container is transformed to a two-mode format. The system has both high-temperature single-phase regions and lowtemperature two-phase regions with a very broad spatial interface that can be stabilized by a weak external field. The case of vanishing external field brings out properties of the mode amplitude dependence which one expects to extend to more complex systems.
