IRIS Institutional Research Information System - AIR Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca

IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Milano.

AIR nasce in UNIMI nel 2006 con lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare e conservare le informazioni sulla produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e costituisce di fatto l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Ateneo.

A simple modification of the optimized random phase approximation (ORPA) has been made, aimed at improving the performance of the theory for interactions with a narrow attractive well by taking into account contributions to the direct correlation function that are nonlinear with respect to the interaction. The theory is applied to a hard core Yukawa and a square-well potential. Results for the equation of state, the correlations, and the critical point have been obtained for attractions within several ranges, and compared with Monte Carlo simulations. When the attractive interaction is narrow, the modified ORPA is a significant improvement over the plain one, especially with regard to the consistency between different routes to the thermodynamics, the two-body correlation function, and the critical temperature. However, although the spinodal curve of the modified theory is accessible, the liquid-vapour coexistence curve is not. A possible strategy to overcome this drawback is suggested.
