Mean Spherical Model Integral Equation for Charged Hard Spheres. II. Results

Abstract

We continue our investigation of the solution of the mean spherical model integral equation for systems of charged hard spheres and charged hard sheets (in one dimension). The general method of solution was presented in Paper I of this series. This paper contains explicit expressions for the structure functions and thermodynamic properties of a variety of such systems in one and three dimensions. The results all have a very simple form and are in good agreement with various machine computations. When the charges on the particles vanish our results coincide with those obtained from the Percus—Yevick equation for hard spheres while in the limit of zero hard core diameters the results go over into those obtained from the linearized Debye—Hückel theory.
