Abstract
Machine calculations by Monte Carlo methods enable us to simulate real liquids in real space, and to reproduce the thermodynamic properties of a real liquid assembly. On the basis of the geometrical descriptions of part I, the structures of these simulated arrays are compared with the random packing. The results demonstrate the essential validity of Bernal's concept of the liquid state; moreover, by artificially hardening the interaction potential, we can throw light upon the structural differences between real and idealized systems.

Van der waals picture of liquids, solids, and phase transformations.

TL;DR: The van der Waals picture focuses on the differing roles of the strong short-ranged repulsive intermolecular forces and the longer ranged attractions in determining the structure and dynamics of dense fluids and solids.

Serially Deposited Amorphous Aggregates of Hard Spheres

TL;DR: In this paper, a large aggregate of several thousand equal hard spheres was constructed by depositing additional spheres, one at a time, at surface sites on a small seed cluster, placing each new sphere in contact with three already present and not moving it afterward.

Modelling the structures of amorphous metals and alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, the application of random packing models to amorphous metals and metal-metalloid alloys is discussed, with particular reference to the effects of soft potentials, boundary conditions, and density.

The Bakerian Lecture, 1962. The Structure of Liquids

TL;DR: The notion of a crystal or a solid in general as an arrangement of molecules in rank and file, as Newton put it, is, in fact, older than Newton yet its quantitative statement was made possible only through the work of Born and others in our own century.
