Equilibrium Structure of Simple Liquids

Phys. Rev. Lett. 25, 149 – Published 20 July 1970

Abstract

It is shown that the repulsive (not merely the positive) portion of the Lennard-Jones potential quantitatively dominates the equilibrium structure of the Lennard-Jones liquid. A simple and accurate approximation for the radial distribution function at high densities is presented.
