Abstract:A perturbation equation is derived from the formalism of inhomogeneous systems of Percus for the calculation of the radial distribution function (rdf). Two special aspects of this development are noted: (1) The derivation is via a mixture system; (2) the direct evaluation of the inhomogeneous direct correlation function C2(1,2/U) is circumvented by the application of a previous result (Ref. 19) on the Percus–Yevick (PY) approximation. The equation arrived at is quite simple and is amenable to numerical solutio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
