The mean spherical approximation for a dipolar Yukawa fluid

Solution of the mean spherical approximation for polydisperse multi-Yukawa hard-sphere fluid mixture using orthogonal polynomial expansions.

The Blum-Hoye [J. Stat. Phys. 19 317 (1978)] solution of the mean spherical approximation for a multicomponent multi-Yukawa hard-sphere fluid is extended to a polydisperse multi-Yukawa hard-sphere fluid. Our extension is based on the application of the orthogonal polynomial expansion method of Lado [Phys. Rev. E 54, 4411 (1996)]. Closed form analytical expressions for the structural and thermod...

Rescaled Mean Spherical Approximation for Colloidal Mixtures

In this work, the resealed mean spherical approximation (RMSA) for colloidal mixtures interacting via a DLVO-type potential is developed, and its application to suspensions of highly charged macroions is illustrated. For this purpose we introduce a simple scheme to solve the mean spherical approximation (MSA) for Yukawa mixtures with factorized coupling parameters. This scheme consists of the m...

Phase coexistence in a polydisperse charged hard-sphere fluid: polymer mean spherical approximation.

We have reconsidered the phase behavior of a polydisperse mixture of charged hard spheres (CHSs) introducing the concept of minimal size neutral clusters. We thus take into account ionic association effects observed in charged systems close to the phase boundary where the properties of the system are dominated by the presence of neutral clusters while the amount of free ions or charged clusters...
