The gas-liquid phase transition of the three-dimensional Lennard-Jones
particles system is studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The gas and
liquid densities in the coexisting state are determined with high accuracy. The
critical point is determined by the block density analysis of the Binder
parameter with the aid of the law of rectilinear diameter. From the critical
behavior of the gas-liquid coexsisting density, the critical exponent of the
order parameter is estimated to be β=0.3285(7). Surface tension is
estimated from interface broadening behavior due to capillary waves. From the
critical behavior of the surface tension, the critical exponent of the
correlation length is estimated to be ν=0.63(4). The obtained values of
β and ν are consistent with those of the Ising universality class.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures, new results are adde
