Phase behavior of weakly polydisperse sticky hard spheres: perturbation theory for the Percus-Yevick solution.
We study the effects of size polydispersity on the gas-liquid phase behavior of mixtures of sticky hard spheres. To achieve this, the system of coupled quadratic equations for the contact values of the partial cavity functions of the Percus-Yevick solution [R. J. Baxter, J. Chem. Phys. 49, 2770 (1968)] is solved within a perturbation expansion in the polydispersity, i.e., the normalized width o...
متن کاملRevisiting the phase diagram of hard ellipsoids.
In this work, the well-known Frenkel-Mulder phase diagram of hard ellipsoids of revolution [D. Frenkel and B. M. Mulder, Mol. Phys. 55, 1171 (1985)] is revisited by means of replica exchange Monte Carlo simulations. The method provides good sampling of dense systems and so, solid phases can be accessed without the need of imposing a given structure. At high densities, we found plastic solids an...
متن کاملSolution of the Percus-Yevick equation for hard disks.
The authors solve the Percus-Yevick equation in two dimensions by reducing it to a set of simple integral equations. They numerically obtain both the pair correlation function and the equation of state for a hard disk fluid and find good agreement with available Monte Carlo results. The present method of resolution may be generalized to any even dimension.
متن کاملPercus-Yevick theory for the structural properties of the seven-dimensional hard-sphere fluid.
The direct correlation function and the (static) structure factor for a seven-dimensional hard-sphere fluid are considered. Analytical results for these quantities are derived within the Percus-Yevick [Phys. Rev.110, 1 (1958)] theory.
متن کاملPercus-Yevick theory of correlation functions and nucleation effects in the sticky hard-sphere model
We use the Percus-Yevick approximation to study indirect correlation functions in the sticky hard-sphere model introduced by Baxter. The model has a critical point below which there is a liquid gas transition. We illustrate the changes in the structure of the correlation function as the density increases on the critical isotherm and on supercritical and subcritical isotherms. We also examine th...
