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.

Analytical static structure factors for the restricted primitive model

TL;DR: The mean static structure for the restricted primitive model formed by m ionic species is presented in this paper, where explicit expressions for the partial static structure factors are obtained from the Blum's solution for the primitive model, which depend on an accumulative parameter, expressed in terms of the Debye length.

Modeling photoacoustic pressure generation in colloidal suspensions at different volume fractions based on a multi-scale approach

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors modeled the initial photoacoustic pressure in colloidal suspensions, used as tissue phantoms, at different volume fractions on a multi-scale approach, and showed that the initial pressure at the absorber inside the medium logarithmically decreases with increasing the volume fractions.

The mean spherical approximation for the surface density profile of the one‐component plasma. II

TL;DR: In this article, the wall is placed at an arbitrary distance from the edge of the background profile and the ions and the background interact via a pseudopotential, which is formally equivalent to the introduction of an adsorption potential at the wall.

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.
