This book, Perturbation Theories for the Thermodynamic Properties
of Fluids and Solids, provides a comprehensive review of current
perturbation theories-as well as integral equation theories and
density functional theories-for the equilibrium thermodynamic and
structural properties of classical systems. Emphasizing practical
applications, the text avoids complex theoretical derivations as
much as possible. It begins with discussions of the nature of
intermolecular forces and simple potential models. The book also
presents a summary of statistical mechanics concepts and formulae.
In addition, it reviews simulation techniques, providing background
for the performance analyses of theories executed throughout the
text using simulation data. Chapters describe integral equation
theories, theoretical approaches for hard-sphere fluid or solid
systems, and perturbation theories for simple fluids and solids for
monocomponent and multicomponent systems. They also cover density
functional theories for inhomogeneous systems and perturbative and
nonperturbative approaches to describe the structure and
thermodynamics of hard-body molecular fluids. The final chapter
examines several more challenging systems, such as fluids near the
critical point, liquid metals, molten salts, colloids, and aqueous
protein solutions. This book offers a thorough account of the
available equilibrium theories for the thermodynamic and structural
properties of fluids and solids, with special focus on perturbation
theories, emphasizing their applications, strengths, and
weaknesses. Appropriate for experienced researchers as well as
postgraduate students, the text presents a wide-ranging yet
detailed view and provides a useful guide to the application of the
theories described.
