Globally accurate theory of structure and thermodynamics for soft-matter liquids / D. Pini, G. Stell. - In: PHYSICA. A. - ISSN 0378-4371. - 306:1/4(2002 Apr), pp. 270-278. [10.1016/S0378-4371(02)00504-6]
Abstract:
Standard statistical mechanical approximations (e.g. mean-field approximations) for pair-correlation functions of strongly interacting systems that yield adequate thermodynamics away from critical points typically break down badly in critical regions. The self-consistent Ornstein-Zemike approximation (SCOZA) transcends this difficulty, yielding globally accurate Structure and thermodynamics. The SCOZA has been applied successfully to a variety of Hamiltonian models and the result will be briefly summarized. We end with a progress report on the applications of the SCOZA to some soft-matter systems.
