Abstract
The perturbation approach of Barker and Henderson (1967, 1968) has been applied to a microemulsion obeying triangular well potential as a perturbative attractive tail over the Percus-Yevick (PY) hard sphere model by calculating the Rayleigh ratio,R 90, under the mean spherical approximations. The results are in better agreement with experimental values.
