Class of consistent fundamental-measure free energies for hard-sphere mixtures.

چکیده

In fundamental-measure theories the bulk excess free-energy density of a hard-sphere fluid mixture is assumed to depend on the partial number densities {ρ(i)} only through the four scaled-particle-theory variables {ξ(α)}, i.e., Φ({ρ(i)})→Φ({ξ(α)}). By imposing consistency conditions, it is proven here that such a dependence must necessarily have the form Φ({ξ(α)})=-ξ(0)ln(1-ξ(3))+Ψ(y)ξ(1)ξ(2)/(1-ξ(3)), where y≡ξ(2)(2)/12πξ(1)(1-ξ(3)) is a scaled variable and Ψ(y) is an arbitrary dimensionless scaling function which can be determined from the free-energy density of the one-component system. Extension to the inhomogeneous case is achieved by standard replacements of the variables {ξ(α)} by the fundamental-measure (scalar, vector, and tensor) weighted densities {n(α)(r)}. Comparison with computer simulations shows the superiority of this bulk free energy over the White Bear one.

Fundamental measure density functional theory studies on the freezing of binary hard-sphere and Lennard-Jones mixtures.

Free energies and correlation functions of liquid and solid hard-sphere (HS) mixtures are calculated using the fundamental measure density functional theory. Using the thermodynamic perturbation theory the free energies of solid and liquid Lennard-Jones (LJ) mixtures are obtained from correlation functions of HS systems within a single theoretical approach. The resulting azeotrope- and spindle-...

Free energies, vacancy concentrations, and density distribution anisotropies in hard-sphere crystals: a combined density functional and simulation study.

We perform a comparative study of the free energies and the density distributions in hard-sphere crystals using Monte Carlo simulations and density functional theory (employing Fundamental Measure functionals). Using a recently introduced technique [T. Schilling and F. Schmid, J. Chem. Phys. 131, 231102 (2009)] we obtain crystal free energies to a high precision. The free energies from fundamen...

Fundamental measure theory for hard-sphere mixtures revisited: the White Bear version

We develop a density functional for hard-sphere mixtures which keeps the structure of Rosenfeld’s fundamental measure theory (FMT) whilst inputting the Mansoori–Carnahan–Starling–Leland bulk equation of state. Density profiles for the pure hard-sphere fluid and for some binary mixtures adsorbed at a planar hard wall obtained from the present functional exhibit some improvement over those from t...

بررسی گذار فاز مایع - جامد با استفاده از نظریه تابعی چگالی وزنی اصلاح شده مایعات کلاسیک غیر یکنواخت با مولکولهای کروی سخت

 In this article we first introduce the weighted density approximation (WDA) to study the classical inhomogeneous system such as inhomogeneous fluids. Then we introduce the modified weighted density approximation (MWDA) to calculate the structure and thermodynamical properties of the FCC hard sphere crystal. The MWDA is a self consistent method where the free energy is expressed as an unperturb...

Fundamental measure density functional theory for nonadditive hard-core mixtures: the one-dimensional case.

We treat a one-dimensional binary mixture of hard-core particles that possess nonadditive diameters. For this model, a density functional theory is constructed following similar principles as an earlier extension of Rosenfeld's fundamental measure theory to three-dimensional nonadditive hard-sphere mixtures. The theory applies to arbitrary positive and moderate negative nonadditivity and reduce...
