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.

Interfacial structure of dimerizing and hard sphere chain fluids in the vicinity of a crystalline surface: effects of a cooperative adsorption

TL;DR: In this article, the density profiles of a hard sphere chain fluid and of dimerizing hard spheres near a crystalline wall represented as a lattice of sticky sites are studied. And the influence of the low-density critical point, caused by the intramolecular correlation in a chain, on the interfacial structure is determined.

Total and partial structure factors, compressibility, diffusion coefficients and other associated properties of an Ag-Se semiconducting alloy

TL;DR: Ashcroft-Langreth partial structure factors were computed using a Lebowitz solution of hard sphere mixtures perturbed by a square well potential as mentioned in this paper, and the potential parameters were obtained from the measured structure factor.

Inverse Statistical Mechanics, Lattice Packings, and Glasses

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of finding the densest lattice packings across Euclidean space dimensions is investigated. But the authors focus on the inverse problem, in which the corresponding ground state is a targeted configuration.

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.
