Playing with Marbles: Structural and Thermodynamic Properties of Hard-Sphere Systems

Abstract: These lecture notes present an overview of equilibrium statistical mechanics of classical fluids, with special applications to the structural and thermodynamic properties of systems made of particles interacting via the hard-sphere potential or closely related model potentials. The exact statistical-mechanical properties of one-dimensional systems, the issue of thermodynamic (in)consistency among different routes in the context of several approximate theories, and the construction of analytical or semi-analyti… Show more

“…Let us now use arguments similar to those conventionally used for isotropic potentials [13,14,15,16,17,18] to derive the structural properties of the mixture. Given a reference particle of species i, we focus on those particles to its right and denote by p (ℓ,+) ij (r)dr the (conditional) probability that its ℓth right neighbor belongs to species j and is located at a distance between r and r + dr.…”

“…The importance of exact statistical-mechanical solutions, even in conditions of onedimensional confinement, cannot be overemphasized [53]. Not only do they represent academically important examples of statistical-mechanical methods at work [10,12,15,16,36,[70][71][72][73][74], but they also provide insights into some of the expected general properties in unconfined geometries, or can be exploited as a benchmark for approximations [2,3,11,14,17,18,21,69,78] or simulation methods [13,46]. Moreover, since one-dimensional systems can be seen as three-dimensional systems confined in a very narrow tube, they find a wide range of applications in physically important situations such as biological ion channels [19], binding of proteins on capillary walls [24], or carbon nanotubes [43,51].…”
