Hard sphere model

2011-09-15T07:19:35Z

158.64.77.126:

[[Image:sphere_green.png|thumb|right]]
The '''hard sphere model''' (sometimes known as the ''rigid sphere model'') is defined as

: <math>
\Phi_{12}\left( r \right) = \left\{ \begin{array}{lll}
\infty & ; & r < \sigma \\
0 & ; & r \ge \sigma \end{array} \right.
</math>

where <math> \Phi_{12}\left(r \right) </math> is the [[intermolecular pair potential]] between two spheres at a distance <math>r := |\mathbf{r}_1 - \mathbf{r}_2|</math>, and <math> \sigma </math> is the diameter of the sphere.
The hard sphere model can be considered to be a special case of the [[hard ellipsoid model]], where each of the semi-axes has the same length, <math>a=b=c</math>.
==First simulations of hard spheres (1954-1957)==
The hard sphere model, along with its two-dimensional manifestation [[hard disks]], was one of the first ever systems studied using [[computer simulation techniques]] with a view
to understanding the thermodynamics of the liquid and solid phases and their corresponding [[Phase transitions | phase transition]]

The value of the radial distribution at contact, <math>{\mathrm g}(\sigma^+)</math>, can be used to calculate the [[pressure]] via the [[equations of state |equation of state]] (Eq. 1 in <ref name="Tao1"> [http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.46.8007 Fu-Ming Tao, Yuhua Song, and E. A. Mason "Derivative of the hard-sphere radial distribution function at contact", Physical Review A '''46''' pp. 8007-8008 (1992)]</ref>)
:<math>\frac{p}{\rho k_BT}= 1 + B_2 \rho {\mathrm g}(\sigma^+)</math>
where the [[second virial coefficient]], <math>B_2</math>, is given by
:<math>B_2 = \frac{2\pi}{3}\sigma^3</math>.
