Perturbation theory for polar fluids
Abstract
Work completed under this grant on polar fluids includes an extension of perturbation theory to polar molecules with point octopoles and hexadecapoles as well as a preliminary investigation of molecules with non-spherical cores. In addition, the ordering of dipolar molecules near a flat electrified wall has been investigated in the linearized hypernetted chain (LHNC) and quadratic hypernetted chain (QHNC) approximations. This has led to a new study of electrostriction and non-linear effects in the polarization density of dipolar fluids.
