Critical point calculation for binary mixtures of symmetric non-additive hard disks
We have calculated the values of critical packing fractions for the mixtures
of symmetric non-additive hard disks. An interesting feature of the model is
the fact that the internal energy is zero and the phase transitions are
entropically driven. A cluster algorithm for Monte Carlo simulations in a
semigrand ensemble was used. The finite size scaling analysis was employed to
compute the critical packing fractions for infinite systems with high accuracy
for a range of non-additivity parameters wider than in the previous studies.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
