This book, Perturbation Theories for the Thermodynamic Properties of Fluids and Solids,
provides a comprehensive review of current perturbation theories—as well as integral …

The so-called extended law of corresponding states, as proposed by Noro and Frenkel [J.
Chem. Phys. 113, 2941 (2000)], involves a map** of the phase behaviors of systems with …

The fluid phase behavior of colloidal suspensions with short-range attractive interactions is
studied by means of Monte Carlo computer simulations and two theoretical approximations …

Competing interaction fluids have become ideal model systems to study a large number of
phenomena, for example, the formation of intermediate range order structures, condensed …

The free energy of square-well (SW) systems of hard-core diameter σ with ranges 1≤ λ≤ 3
is expanded in a perturbation series. This interval covers most ranges of interest, from short …

In the same sense as in the extended law of corresponding states [M. Noro and D. Frenkel,
J. Chem. Phys. 113, 2941 (2000)], we propose the use of the second virial coefficient to map …

The discrete hard-sphere (HS), square-well (SW), and square-shoulder (SS) potentials have
become the battle horse of molecular and complex fluids because they contain the basic …

During the past decade, there has been a hot debate about the physical mechanisms that
determine when a colloidal dispersion approaches the gel transition. However, there is still …

The thermodynamic properties of the dipolar hard-sphere fluid are studied using theory and
simulation. A new theory is derived using a convenient mathematical approximation for the …

In this work, we have calculated self-diffusion and shear viscosity, two of the most important
transport properties, of the spherical square-well (SW) fluid interacting with potential range …
