A free-energy density functional for the inhomogeneous hard-sphere fluid mixture is derived
from general basic considerations and yields explicit analytic expressions for the high-order …

Extensive Monte Carlo simulation results for the pair and triplet direct correlation functions of
the one‐component, hard‐sphere system near freezing are presented. These results are in …

A new formulation of the weighted-density approximation (WDA), as currently applied in the
theory of nonuniform classical liquids, is presented. This modified weighted-density …

A free-energy density functional for a system of hard spheres is derived on a semiempirical
basis. It is constructed to reproduce the thermodynamics and direct correlation function of a …

On the basis of the fundamental-measure free energy functional for hard spheres and
thermodynamic perturbation theory, a unified analytical description of classical bulk solids …

A density-functional theory of nonuniform fluid mixtures—based on a generalization of the
one-component weighted-density approximation—is both presented and applied to freezing …

Starting from an exact expression for the Helmholtz free-energy functional of an
inhomogeneous classical liquid, an approximate functional is presented which depends on …

A geometrically based fundamental-measure free-energy density functional unified the
scaled-particle and Percus-Yevick theories for the hard-sphere fluid mixture. It has been …

In order to confirm the existence of a first-order melting transition for a classical many-body
system 1) f hard spheres and to discover the densities of the coexisting phases, we have …

The density functional theory of freezing is extended to the crystallisation of multicomponent
systems into substitutional solid solutions. The formalism is applied to the case of binary …
