For each one of these widths, several densities $\\rho$ and temperatures $T$ in the ranges $0.1\\leq\\rho\\sigma^3\\leq 0.8$ and $T_c(\\lambda)\\lesssim T\\lesssim 3T_c(\\lambda)$, where $T_c(\\lambda)$ is the critical temperature, have been considered. The simulation data are used to examine the performance of two analytical theories in predicting the structure of these fluids: the perturbation theory proposed by Tang and Lu [Y. Tang and B. C.-Y. Lu, J. Chem. Phys. {\\bf 100}, 3079, 6665 (1994)] and the non-perturbative model proposed by two of us [S. B. Yuste and A. Santos, J. Chem. Phys. {\\bf 101}, 2355 (1994)]. It is observed that both theories complement each other, as the latter theory works well for short ranges and/or moderate densities, while the former theory does for long ranges and high densities.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-10-27T11:37:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "pair correlation function", "short-ranged square-well fluids", "performed extensive monte carlo simulations", "long ranges", "moderate densities" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "J.
