By P. A. Egelstaff
It is a thoroughly revised and rewritten variation of a favored postgraduate physics textual content initially released 25 years in the past. whereas the overall content material and magnificence of this version stick to that of the unique, the e-book now displays the big enlargement of theoretical and experimental examine that has taken position over the last zone of a century. The e-book offers an outstanding creation to the liquid country. It goals to hide the easier and extra uncomplicated components of this big subject whereas retaining a stability among assorted parts. the writer breaks the topic down by means of liquid kingdom subject instead of by means of type of liquid, in order that all sessions can fall lower than each one subject. The textual content takes an easy atomic view of drinks, targeting the pair distribution and pair capability capabilities, illustrating how houses may be calculated from first rules and the consequences in comparison with test. The experimental ideas used contain scattering either for equilibrium and dynamic measurements, and substantial cognizance is dedicated to this point. The publication is aimed toward first yr graduate scholars of physics and those that have taken undergraduate classes in arithmetic and statistical thermodynamics. many beneficial workouts are integrated during this edition.

20) provides a means of testing atomic interactions for the existence of the long-range dipolar potential, or if written in the form 0-K2e+1>/J)forany long-range power law (r"s) potential. It is of limited application, however, and must be supplemented by the full classical equation and by quantum mechanical results. 20) shows that σ(θ) diverges to infinity as Θ -* 0, because the potential falls off slowly and there is always a weak interaction even at large distances. From the classical point of view, a stationary atom placed in a wide parallel beam of atoms would throw out a divergent shadow (rather than a parallel shadow) and so give rise to an infinite cross-section.
The discussion of the uses of these theoretical results is deferred until Chapter 7, so that the theoretical and experi mental methods of studying g(r) and u(r) may be examined. This part of the discussion will be divided into three parts : (i) theoretical and experimental studies of u(r) (Chapters 3 and 4) ; (ii) theoretical relation ships between g(r) and u(r) (Chapter 5) ; and (iii) experimental methods of studying g(r) (Chapter 6). The pair potential u(r) differs markedly between non-conducting (electrical) and conducting liquids, as indicated in Chapter 1, and for this reason separate treatments of these two cases will be given.
29) together gives (if Q = 2q sin 0/2)— W) = ~ j exp(iQ . r) u(r) dr * Exp(iqz) is expanded in Legendre polynomials also. 30) THE PAIR POTENTIAL FUNCTION 35 where the relation— ! ^ I = £(2/+ltf(«r)Pi(cos0) has been used. 30) shows that in this limit (known as the Born approximation) the angular distribution is related to the Fourier transformation of the scattering potential. It may be shown7 that the phases will be small (for qr ~ / + |) if— 2m , . 2) the function u(r) falls off faster than r~2.
