Percus-Yevick theory for the system of hard spheres with a square-well attraction

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

Analytic solution of the Percus-Yevick equation for the system of hard spheres with a square-well attraction is proposed provided the range of attraction,γ, is much smaller than the hard sphere diameter. It is shown that forγ close to zero the system exhibits the first-order phase transition similar to that found for sticky hard spheres; for attraction ranges greater than a certainγ m the triple point and the line of solidification appear as well.
