Grand partition function functional for simple fluids
In this paper, we will systematically present the method of collective variables with a reference system for a classical many-particle interacting system in the grand canonical ensemble. The emphasis will be placed on the details of calculations. In particular, the usage of total correlation functions defined for the grand canonical ensemble allows us to investigate very accurately the cumulants of the grand partition function for the reference system. It is shown that any cumulant Mn can be expressed as a product of three components: the average particle number within the reference system, a Kronecker’s symbol for n wave vectors, and the n-particle structure factor. The functional expression for the grand partition function is derived, with all coefficients explicitly defined. The coordinates of the critical point are computed in the mean field approximation.
Round table "Frontiers in Science: Hot topics in research, management, and financing"
Institute for Condensed Matter Physics initiates a one-day round table "Frontiers in Science: Hot topics in research, management, and financing", covering both scientific and other aspects of the research activity. We would like to present a "bird's view" on a current state of scientific research in general, including broad fields and the multidisciplinary context.
The pleasant occasion for this event is 60th birthday of Prof. Jaroslav Ilnytskyi, the head of dept. of Computer Simulations of Many-particle Sysyems.
The round table will take place on 10 October (Tuesday), 10:30-17:00 (Ukrainian time) in a mixed format: live + online. The working language is English.
