Phase diagram of the adhesive hard sphere fluid

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-11-10 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

The phase behavior of the Baxter adhesive hard sphere fluid has been determined using specialized Monte Carlo simulations. We give a detailed account of the techniques used and present data for the fluid-fluid coexistence curve as well as parametrized fits for the supercritical equation of state and the percolation threshold. These properties are compared with the existing results of Percus-Yevick theory for this system.
