Continuum percolation of simple fluids: energetic connectivity criteria

Abstract: During the last few years, a number of works in computer simulation have focused on the clustering and percolation properties of simple fluids based in an energetic connectivity criterion proposed long ago by T.L. Hill [J. Chem. Phys. 23, 617 (1955)]. This connectivity criterion appears to be the most appropriate in the study of gas-liquid phase transition. So far, integral equation theories have relayed on a velocity-averaged version of this criterion. We show, by using molecular dynamics simulations, that this average strongly overestimates percolation densities in the Lennard-Jones fluid making unreliable any prediction based on it. Additionally, we use a recently developed integral equation theory [Phys. Rev. E 61, R6067 (2000)] to show how this velocity-average can be overcome.
