We study a model fluid with classical translational degrees of freedom and internal quantum states in two spatial dimensions. The path-integral Monte Carlo and the Gibbs-ensemble Monte Carlo techniques are combined to investigate the liquid-gas coexistence region in this mixed quantum-classical system. A comparison with the phase diagram obtained in the canonical ensemble is also presented. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
