Rescaled density expansions and demixing in hard-sphere binary mixtures.
The demixing transition of a binary fluid mixture of additive hard spheres is analyzed for different size asymmetries by starting from the exact low-density expansion of the pressure. Already within the second virial approximation the fluid separates into two phases of different composition with a lower consolute critical point. By successively incorporating the third, fourth, and fifth virial ...
متن کاملPhase diagram of highly asymmetric binary hard-sphere mixtures.
We study the phase behavior and structure of highly asymmetric binary hard-sphere mixtures. By first integrating out the degrees of freedom of the small spheres in the partition function we derive a formal expression for the effective Hamiltonian of the large spheres. Then using an explicit pairwise (depletion) potential approximation to this effective Hamiltonian in computer simulations, we de...
متن کاملDemixing in binary mixtures of hard hyperspheres
– The phase behavior of binary fluid mixtures of hard hyperspheres in four and five dimensions is investigated. Spinodal instability is found by using a recent and accurate prescription for the equation of state of the mixture that requires the equation of state of the single component fluid as input. The role played by the dimensionality on the possible metastability of the demixing transition...
متن کاملDimensional interpolation of hard sphere virial coefficients
We examine the dependence on spatial dimension D of the Mayer cluster integrals that determine the virial coefficients B, for a fluid of rigid hyperspheres. The integrals vary smoothly with D, and can be characterized analytically in both the low-D and high-D limits. Dimensional interpolation (DI) allows one to evaluate individual Mayer cluster integrals at D = 2 and D = 3 to within about 1%. T...
متن کاملDemixing and confinement of non-additive hard-sphere mixtures in slit pores.
Using Monte Carlo simulation, we study the influence of geometric confinement on demixing for a series of symmetric non-additive hard spheres mixtures confined in slit pores. We consider both a wide range of positive non-additivities and a series of pore widths, ranging from the pure two dimensional limit to a large pore width where results are close to the bulk three dimensional case. Critical...
