an analytical equation of state was applied to calculate the thermodynamic properties for argon.the equation of state is that of song and mason. it is based on a statistical-mechanical perturbationtheory of the hard convex bodies and can be written as fifth-order polynomial in the density. thereexist three temperature-dependent parameters: the second virial coefficient, an effective molecularvo...

hf level of ab initio calculations with basis-set 6-31g including full counterpoise correction hasbeen applied to compute the asphis potential with the ser and hisser potential with the asp inasphisser trimer. the potential energy surface has a minimum of -16.765 kcal/mol in r1=1.912nm and r2=2.719 nm. the optimum computed curves for two interactions were fitted withintermolecular pair potentia...

The Lennard-Jones(12-6) and the Exponential-6 potential functions are commonly used in computational softwares for describing the van der Waals interaction energy. Some softwares allow switching between these two potentials under prescribed condition(s) that attempt to connect the parameter relationship between the two functions. Here we propose a technique by which the parameter relationship b...

Minimizing the Lennard-Jones potential, the most-studied model problem for molecular conformation, is an unconstrained global optimization problem with a large number of local minima. In this paper, the problem is reformulated as an equality constrained nonlinear programming problem with only linear constraints. This formulation allows the solution to approached through infeasible configuration...

in this study, a temperature-dependent of the dispersion coefficients is calculated from equation state.the lennard-jones lj (12-6-3) effective pair potential function and simple thermodynamic argumentwith the input pvt data of liquid metals are used to calculate the dispersion coefficients. the dispersioncoefficients ( , , ) 3 6 12 c c c are found to be a linear function of 1/t1+α , where t is...

Representations of braid group obtained from rational conformal field theories can be used to obtain explicit representations of Temperley-Lieb-Jones algebras. The method is described in detail for SU(2) k Wess-Zumino conformal field theories and its generalization to an arbitrary rational conformal field theory outlined. Explicit definition of an associated linear trace operation in terms of a...

Recent lattice model calculations have suggested that a full-layered crystal surface may undergo, under canonical (particle-conserving) conditions, a preroughening-driven two-dimensional phase separation into two disordered flat regions, of opposite order parameter. We have carried out extensive classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the Lennard-Jones fcc(111) surface, to check whethe...

Although the calculation of the ground-state and thermodynamic properties of solid C60 have been the subject of intense research, our understanding is still based on ad hoc models that treat phenomenologically both the Coulomb and short-range part of the interaction potential between C60 molecules. These potentials do not predict well those properties not fitted to fix the free parameters of th...

A free energy functional for a crystal which contains both the symmetry-conserved and symmetry-broken parts of the direct pair correlation function has been used to investigate the fluid-solid transition in systems interacting via purely repulsive Weeks-Chandler-Anderson Lennard-Jones potential and the full Lennard-Jones potential. The results found for freezing parameters for the fluid-face ce...

Quark clustering, rather than color super-conducting, could occur in cold quark matter because of the strongly coupling between quarks at realistic baryon densities of compact stars. Although one may still not be able to calculate this conjectured matter from first principles, the inter-cluster interaction might be analogized to the interaction between inert molecules. Cold quark matter would t...
