Phase diagram and surface tension of the hard-core attractive Yukawa model of variable range: Monte Carlo simulations

摘要

The liquid-vapor phase diagram and surface tension for hard-core Yukawa potential with 4 <=kappa <= 7 are calculated by applying canonical Monte Carlo simulation. The authors' new simulation results are more precise than those reported before, which allows them to affirm the accuracy of the previously reported self-consistent Ornstein-Zernike approximation calculations for kappa=5 and 7.
