Abstract
Monte Carlo values for the equation of state of the two-dimensional Lennard-Jones fluid are reported. The agreement with previous simulations is good, with the exception of the critical point region. However, the estimates of the critical temperature and density given here are lower than those previously reported. The first and second-order Barker-Henderson and first-order Weeks-Chandler-Andersen perturbation theories are applied to this system and are found to be satisfactory only at high densities. A semiempirical correction term to the second-order Barker-Henderson theory is constructed. The resulting parameterization of the Monte Carlo data is found to be accurate and useful at all densities and temperatures for which the Monte Carlo data exist.

Density fluctuations and field mixing in the critical fluid

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite-size scaling theory was developed to describe the joint density and energy fluctuations in a near-critical fluid, where the energy operator features in the critical density distribution as an antisymmetric correction to the limiting scale-invariant form.

Role of Repulsive Forces in Determining the Equilibrium Structure of Simple Liquids

TL;DR: In this paper, the Fourier transform of the pair correlation function is used to calculate the structure factor of a reference system in which the intermolecular forces are entirely repulsive and identical to the repulsive forces in a Lennard-Jones fluid.

Analysis of Classical Statistical Mechanics by Means of Collective Coordinates

TL;DR: In this paper, the three-dimensional classical many-body system is approximated by the use of collective coordinates, through the assumed knowledge of two-body correlation functions, and a self-consistent formulation is available for determining the correlation function.

Fifth and Sixth Virial Coefficients for Hard Spheres and Hard Disks

TL;DR: In this paper, the modified stars contain both Mayer f functions and f functions (f≡f+1) and it is shown that the number of topologically distinguishable graphs occurring in the new expressions is about half the number required in previous expressions.
