Practical thermodynamics of Yukawa systems at strong coupling

Plasma Physics 2015-05-21 v1 Soft Condensed Matter

Abstract

Simple practical approach to estimate thermodynamic properties of strongly coupled Yukawa systems, in both fluid and solid phases, is presented. The accuracy of the approach is tested by extensive comparison with direct computer simulation results (for fluids and solids) and the recently proposed shortest-graph method (for solids). Possible applications to other systems of softly repulsive particles are briefly discussed.
