Solution of a new integral equation for pair correlation functions in molecular liquids
Abstract
This paper discusses the first numerical solutions of the reference interaction site model (RISM) equation which was proposed by Chandler and Andersen [J. Chem. Phys. 57, 1930 (1972)] to provide a theory for the equilibrium pair correlations of molecular fluids in which the ``molecules'' are composed of fused hard spheres. The particular system studied herein is a one component fluid in which the molecules are symmetric ``diatomics'' (i.e., each is formed by two hard spheres of diameter σ with the centers of the spheres a distance L from each other). It is shown that the accuracy of the RISM equation for this molecular fluid is comparable to that of the Percus-Yevick equation for dense hard sphere fluids. Numerous calculations are presented which illustrate the usefulness of this theory in providing a detailed description of the intermolecular structure of complex fluids. One calculation provides a theory for the structure of liquid nitrogen.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
