Abstract
A transformation of the Ornstein–Zernike relation for fluid mixtures is derived which involves the direct and indirect correlation functions only over the ranges within which the former are nonzero. Also, two closed expressions for the compressibility pressure in the Percus–Yevick (PY) approximation for mixtures are presented. The analytic solution of the PY approximation for mixtures of hard spheres follows immediately, and it is expected that the results should be of use in numerical calculations for systems with short‐range forces, where the direct correlation functions normally tend rapidly to zero with increasing particle separation.

Effective Propagation Constants and Attenuation Rates in Media of Densely Distributed Coated Dielectric Particles with Size Distributions

TL;DR: In this paper, the effective propagation constants and attenuation rates in dense nontenuous media with coated dielectric particles governed by size distributions are studied, and the Lippmann-Schwinger equation for coated particles is solved analytically to calculate the T-matrix for both QCA and QCA-CP.

TL;DR: For low-pressure simulations of liquid-like states of pure substances, the statistical and systematic errors contained in the results for the compressibility factor are investigated in this paper, with particle numbers between 108 and 2048, giving a clear picture of the magnitude of the possible errors.

TL;DR: The present study reveals that the local order of liquid Ti is in the form of fragments of the distorted icosahedral short range order, where the distortion is induced by strong bond order effects.

Approximation Methods in Classical Statistical Mechanics

TL;DR: In this paper, the pair distribution function for a classical fluid in thermal equilibrium is found to be more closely approximated by the Percus and Yevick (Phys. Rev., 110: 1(1958)) approximation than by the Bogoliubov-Born-Green- Kirkwood-Yvon (B.G.K.H.) approximation or the hypernetted chain approximation.

Ornstein-Zernike relation for a disordered fluid

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if the direct correlation function c(r) vanishes beyond a range R, then a third function Q(r), which is related to c and h (r) by equations that involve the functions only over the range (O,R), can be introduced.

TL;DR: In this article, an exact integral equation for the pair distribution function is found for the Helmholtz free energy and the integral equation can be derived also by means of a variational principle from the expression for the free energy.
