Liquid-gas Transition for Hard Spheres with Attractive Yukawa Tail Interactions
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe the liquid-gas transition in the hard sphere system with Yukawa tail interactions in the mean spherical approximation. The dependence of critical temperature and density on the range of the interaction is shown and the spinodal curve for a short-ranged potential and a long-ranged potential is presented. The compressibility, energy and virial pressures are presented for a long-ranged potential. Liquid phase pressures are calculated by integrating round the coexistence region, rather than through it.

Phase diagrams of hard spheres with algebraic attractive interactions.
The phase diagrams of systems made up of hard spheres interacting with attractive potentials of the form -1/r(3+sigma) are calculated using Monte Carlo simulations, second-order thermodynamic perturbation theory, and an augmented van der Waals theory. In simulations of the systems with sigma=0.1, 1, and 3, fluid-solid coexistence results are obtained using the Gibbs-Duhem integration technique;...
متن کاملA simple patchy colloid model for the phase behavior of lysozyme dispersions.
We propose a minimal model for spherical proteins with aeolotopic pair interactions to describe the equilibrium phase behavior of lysozyme. The repulsive screened Coulomb interactions between the particles are taken into account assuming that the net charges are smeared out homogeneously over the spherical protein surfaces. We incorporate attractive surface patches, with the interactions betwee...

A thermodynamically consistent density functional-perturbation theory is used to study the isostructural solid-to-solid transition which takes place in the hard sphere/attractive Yukawa system when the Yukawa tail is sufficiently short-ranged. A comparison with results for the square well potential allows us to study the effect of the attractive potential form on the solid-solid transition. Rea...
متن کاملGas-liquid phase separation in oppositely charged colloids: stability and interfacial tension.
We study the phase behavior and the interfacial tension of the screened Coulomb (Yukawa) restricted primitive model (YRPM) of oppositely charged hard spheres with diameter sigma using Monte Carlo simulations. We determine the gas-liquid and gas-solid phase transitions using free energy calculations and grand-canonical Monte Carlo simulations for varying inverse Debye screening length kappa. We ...
متن کاملPhase transitions and critical behaviour of simple fluids and their mixtures
It has become clear that the self-consistent Ornstein–Zernike approximation (SCOZA) is a microscopic liquid-state theory that is able to predict the location of the critical point and of the liquid–vapour coexistence line of a simple fluid with high accuracy. However, applications of the SCOZA to continuum systems have been restricted up to now to liquids where the interatomic potentials consis...
