A perturbation approach based on the first-order mean-spherical approximation (FMSA) is proposed. It con-

which the perturbative solution of the Ornstein-Zernike equation is performed. A choice of the optimal range
of the reference attraction is discussed. The results are compared against conventional FMSA/HS theory and
Monte-Carlo simulation data for compressibility factor and vapor-liquid phase diagrams of the medium-ranged
Yukawa fluid. The proposed theory keeps the same level of simplicity and transparency as the conventional
FMSA/HS approach does, but turns out to be more accurate.

1. Introduction
The most common and universal method in theories of fluids is the perturbation approach.
Nonetheless, without analytic results of the integral equation theory for simple systems the per-
turbation expansion could not be accomplished. To be specific, the analytic results of the mean-
spherical approximation (MSA) for the fluid of hard spheres (for which the MSA is identical to the
Percus-Yevick theory) [1, 2] and the Yukawa fluid [3, 4] are used to describe the properties of the
reference system. In addition to these conventional MSA results there is also a perturbed version
of the MSA called the first-order mean-spherical approximation (FMSA) [5].
When compared to computer simulation data for the Yukawa fluid model, the FMSA theory
has been shown to be reasonably good but still less accurate than the common MSA [6]. However,
an advantage of the FMSA theory, hereinafter referred to as FMSA/HS since it employs the hard
sphere (HS) fluid for the reference, is its simplicity and transparency. These are the factors causing
its increasing attractiveness and potential applicability in the liquid state theory and also, in
general, in the soft condensed matter theory. The most important ideas of the FMSA/HS theory
are outlined in the following section.
The goal of this paper is to present a modification of the FMSA/HS theory. The modification
pursues the idea that there is an alternative to the HS reference, namely a mean field theory based
on a Yukawa fluid reference [7]. In section 3 the possible choices in this direction are considered.
The results and discussions are the subject of section 4. The study is summarized in section 5.
2. Conventional FMSA/HS theory
The FMSA/HS is a theory based on the solution of the Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equation,
h̃ (k) = c̃ (k) + ρh̃ (k) c̃ (k) (1)

S. Hlushak, A. Trokhymchuk, I. Nezbeda
by employing the perturbation expansions limited to the first order correction term,
h̃ (k) = h̃o (k) + ∆h̃ (k) ,
c̃ (k) = c̃o (k) + ∆c̃ (k) ,
Q̂ (k) = Q̂o (k) + ∆Q̂ (k) , (2)
for the total, h, and direct, c, correlation functions combined with Baxter factorization function, Q,
respectively. Here and in what follows all symbols with the tilde will denote the three-dimensional
Fourier transforms, while all symbols with the hats will denote the one-dimensional Fourier trans-
forms or the Laplace transforms. The terms with subscript “o” denote the contribution of a reference
system, and ∆h, ∆c, ∆Q are the respective corrections.
The FMSA/HS theory has been developed by Tang and Lu [5, 8, 9] for the hard-core based
fluid models
u (r) =
{
∞, r < σ,
φ(r), r > σ,
(3)
with σ being the diameter of a hard core and φ(r) being the potential function for out-of-core pair
interaction between molecules. In their studies Tang and Lu were considering the fluid of hard
spheres (HS) as the reference (or unperturbed) system for which all three functions that enter
expansions (2) are well known. In particular, for the total correlation function of the HS reference
system, ho ≡ hHS , Tang and Lu used the expression
ĝo (s) ≡ ĝHS (s) =
L (sσ) e−sσ
(1− η)
2
Q̂HS (sσ) s2
, (4)
that is the Laplace transform of the radial distribution function gHS(r) = hHS(r)+1 resulting from
the solution of the OZ equation for HS fluid in the Percus-Yevick approximation [1]. The function
Q̂HS (t) refers to the Laplace transform of the Baxter factorization function of the HS fluid,
Q̂o (t) ≡ Q̂HS (t) =
S (t) + 12ηL (t) e−t
(1− η)
2
t3
, (5)
where
S (t) = (1− η)2 t3 + 6η (1− η) t2 + 18η2t− 12η (1 + 2η) , (6)
L (t) =
(
1 +
η
2
)
t+ 1 + 2η (7)
and η = πρσ3/6 is the packing fraction.
The main result obtained by Tang and Lu concerns an expression for correction ∆h to the total
correlation function (or radial distribution function) resulting from the out-of-core attraction φ(r).
It reads [5]
∆ĥ (k) =
P (ikσ)
Q̂2

where
P (ikσ) =

with function ∆U (k) defined as
∆U (k) =

In accordance with this approach the necessary closure to be used in equation (10) reads as
∆cFMSA/HS (r) = −βφ (r) , for r > σ, (11)
33004-2
Improved MSA theory for simple fluids
with β = 1/kBT and T being the temperature.
In general, without any relation to the above version of the FMSA theory, a key point of
its application to particular fluid model [determined by the out-of-core interaction potential φ(r)]
concerns an evaluation of the integral in equation (9). So far, within the framework of the FMSA/HS
theory this has been done for the Yukawa, Lennard-Jones, Kihara and sticky fluids by Tang and
Lu [8] and for the square-well fluids by Tang and Lu [9] and by Hlushak et al. [10]. In the particular
case of the Yukawa (Y) fluid model,
φY (r) = −ǫσ
e−z(r−σ)
r
, (12)
for which the function ∆U (k) ∼ e−ikσ, an integration contour in the right-hand side of equation (9)
can be closed in the upper complex half-plane and evaluation of the integral is rather simple and
does not require the calculation of the residues at zeroes of the function Q̂HS (−ikσ). Then, the
Laplace transform of the correction term (8) for the total correlation function of the Yukawa fluid
within the FMSA/HS theory reads
∆ĥFMSA/HS (s) =
βǫσe−sσ
(s+ z) Q̂2
HS (sσ) Q̂
2
HS (zσ)
. (13)
Once the radial distribution function ĝ = ĝo+∆ĥ is known, the thermodynamics of the system
can be calculated.
3. FMSA theory based on Yukawa reference system
The first order mean-spherical approximation theory that we are dealing with is a kind of
perturbation theory approach. Usually, within the perturbation theory, in order to improve the
performance of the first order approximation one should calculate the second order correction term.
As an alternative to this common way here we propose to qualitatively modify the reference system
over which the perturbation is calculated, and as a result to continue working within the same first
order approximation. This is of particular importance since our aim is to keep the simplicity and
transparency of the improved FMSA theory at the level established by the conventional FMSA/HS
approach.
3.1. Division of the potential
Similar to the classical perturbation theory approach we proceed by dividing the initial inter-
action potential u(r) into two parts
u (r) = uo (r) + ∆u (r) , (14)
that are the reference and residual contributions, respectively. However, for the reference system
potential uo (r) we will require that besides the hard-core repulsion it should (i) include a piece of
the attractive tail of the same strength ǫ as the total potential, and (ii) extend over the range that
is somewhat shorter than the range of the total interaction. The function that allows us to satisfy
and control these requirements in an easy and a natural way is the Yukawa (Y0) potential. Thus,
we may define the desired reference fluid as follows:
uo (r) ≡ uY0(r) =
{
∞, r < σ,
−εσe−zo(r−σ)/r, r > σ .
(15)
The improved FMSA closure, referred to as FMSA/Y0, reads as follows:
∆cFMSA/Y0 (r) = −βφ (r)− βǫσe−zo(r−σ)/r, for r > σ , (16)
where zo is the so far undefined parameter.

3.2. Yukawa reference system
We note here that some authors have already suggested to utilize the non-HS reference system
in liquid state theory (e.g., see [11, 12]). Moreover, the short-range attractive Yukawa fluid has
been already considered as an alternative to the HS reference system by Melnyk et al. [7, 13–16]
in their studies within the framework of an augmented van der Waals theory for simple fluids.
It is very important that, like in the case of the HS reference potential, all properties for the
Yukawa reference potential (15), including the Baxter function Qo ≡ QY0 , are available in the
literature. They can be obtained either within the MSA theory for Yukawa fluid [e.g., see Blum
and Hoye [4], Kalyuzhnyi et al. [17, 18]] or within the conventional FMSA/HS theory due to Tang
and Lu as it is described in previous section 2. The MSA theory is more accurate than FMSA/HS
theory, but the latter is simpler. For the purpose of the present study we decided to sacrifice the
accuracy in order to maintain simplicity and transparency. Thus, in what follows the FMSA/HS
theory will be employed to describe properties of the Y0 reference system. And, as we will see
hereinafter, despite a less accurate description of the reference system, the FMSA/Y0 theory still
shows a notable improvement against the FMSA/HS theory.
Following the conventional FMSA/HS approach, the Laplace transform of the radial distribution
function of the Y0 reference system reads
ĝo (s) ≡ ĝY0 (s; zo) = ĝHS (s) +
βǫσe−sσ
(s+ zo) Q̂2
HS (sσ) Q̂
2
HS (zoσ)
, (17)
where the first term corresponds to the contribution of a hard-sphere repulsion, while the second
one is the contribution due to the short-range attraction attributed to the Y0 reference system in
accordance with equation (15). Similarly, the FMSA/HS result for the Baxter factorization function
of the Y0 reference is
Q̂o (t) ≡ Q̂Y0 (t; zoσ) = Q̂HS (t) + 12βεη
zoσQ̂HS (−t) e−t
− (t+ zoσ) Q̂HS (t)
tzoσ (t+ zoσ) Q̂2
HS (zoσ)
. (18)
3.3. Full system within the FMSA/Y0 theory
After all properties of interest for the Y0 reference fluid are specified, we turn to the entire
system determined by the interaction potential u(r) or more precisely by the out-of-core potential
function φ(r). Although this function can be substituted by any potential function used in literature
to represent the simple fluids [e.g., Lennard-Jones, Sutherland, Yukawa or Kihara potentials, etc.]
for the purpose of present study we proceed with the Yukawa (Y) fluid model already defined
according to equation (12).
By introducing Yukawa potential φY(r) into the FMSA/Y0 closure (16) we note that for both
functions that enter ∆cFMSA/Y0(r), the function ∆U (k) is proportional to e−ikσ and the integral
in equation (9) can be easily evaluated in the way it was already discussed in Introduction section.
Then, the correction term ∆ĥFMSA/Y0 that is necessary to evaluate the radial distribution function
of the full system,
ĝ (s; zo, z) = ĝo (s; zo) + ∆ĥ (s; zo, z) , (19)
is given by
∆ĥFMSA/Y0 (s; zo, z) = −

Y0 (sσ; zoσ) Q̂

Y0 (zσ; zoσ)
. (20)
The calculations of thermodynamics within the FMSA/Y0 approach can be made through the
energy route, i.e., in the way that is quite similar to how it was done by Tang et al. within the
33004-4

In the limit zo = z the above formulas reduce to the conventional FMSA/HS theory by Tang
and Lu [6]. The chemical potential and pressure are obtained employing standard thermodynamic
relations.

Figure 1. Density dependence of the Y0 refer-
ence decay parameter zo,min that minimizes the
free energy for Yukawa fluid models with differ-
ent value of the decay exponent z as it is spec-
ified for each curve. One can see that at low
density zo,min → 2z.
The above outlined FMSA/Y0 theory con-
tains the parameter zo that determines the
range of reference attraction and needs to be
specified. The most straightforward approach
to proceed deals with the minimization of the
free energy (22) of the Yukawa system over the
range of possible values of zo . Noting that zo
enters only a2 contribution, we deduce that the
outcome of the minimization, i.e., zo,min , de-
pends only on the density of the fluid but not
on the temperature. The corresponding density
dependence of zo,min for several Yukawa fluids
is presented in figure 1. It is evident that in the
limit of a vanishing density and for all systems
considered, the parameter zo,min tends to the
value of 2z.
This rather remarkable result for choosing
the Y0 reference system in such a strict form
is quite probably limited to the FMSA theory
only. Nevertheless, it is quite consistent with
our earlier findings for the Y0 reference decay
parameter within the framework of the Yukawa
based van der Waals theory for the simple fluids [7, 13–16]. First of all, there is a requirement for
33004-5
S. Hlushak, A. Trokhymchuk, I. Nezbeda
zo,min to be larger than z providing in this way the range of the reference attraction which will be
shorter than that in the parent fluid. Secondly, it is obvious that the reference fluid should be in
a one-phase region for the set of density and temperature parameters used in the studies of the
parent fluid. In the case of a hard sphere reference, this requirement is satisfied since HS fluid does
not exhibit the liquid/vapor transition. By adding an attraction one provides the possibility for
the phase coexistence. However, the critical temperature is always getting lower if the range of
attraction is shorter. In [14] we presented a collection of the Monte Carlo generated liquid/vapor
envelopes for Yukawa fluid with different values of the decay parameter (see figure 1 in [14]) from
which it follows that the values 3 < zoσ < 6 can be used as a reference decay for the Lennard-
Jones-like Yukawa fluid (zσ = 1.8) since the critical point temperature in such a reference fluid
will always be lower than the triple point temperature in parent fluid.
On the other hand, analyzing the dependence of the critical point coordinates of the Lennard-
Jones-like Yukawa fluid (zσ = 1.8) on the reference system decay parameter zo , in [13] we have
shown that the best agreement with computer simulation data can be reached if 3 < zoσ < 4.
Thus, the result zo = 2z agrees with these findings and in all our subsequent calculations for the
Lennard-Jones-like Yukawa fluid we impose zoσ = 3.6, making it independent of the fluid density.
4.2. Comparison between FMSA/HS and FMSA/Y0 solutions
To illustrate the improvements that the FMSA/Y0 theory yields over the conventional
FMSA/HS theory, we compare the predictions made up by these two theoretical approaches for
compressibility factor and vapor/liquid phase diagram of the most popular Yukawa fluid model
defined by the decay parameter zσ = 1.8.

ity factor, Z = PV/NkT , of the Yukawa fluid

and from the improved FMSA/Y0 theory with
zoσ = 3.6 (red solid lines). The symbols denote
computer simulation data by Schukla [19].

are the same as in figure 2.
The compressibility factors, Z = PV/NkT , of the Yukawa fluid with zσ = 1.8 and for two
temperatures, T ∗ = 1.5 and 1, that result from both FMSA approaches are presented in figure 2.
To estimate the effectiveness of the theory, the computer simulation data due to Schukla [19] are
shown as well. As it was already pointed out by Tang [6], the conventional FMSA/HS theory does
a good job in predicting the compressibility factor of the Yukawa fluid. Nevertheless, the proposed
33004-6
Improved MSA theory for simple fluids
FMSA/Y0 theory shows to be even more accurate, especially at lower temperature and in the
region of intermediate densities.
While the enhancement may seem to be minor in the case of compressibility factor, it is more
pronounced for the vapor/luqiud phase diagram shown in figure 3. The results of the FMSA/Y0
theory lead to the shrinkage of coexisting densities envelope in the region near the critical point,
approaching the computer simulation data. The estimated improvement in comparison with the
FMSA/HS predictions is around 30%.
5. Conclusions
Being compared with computer simulation data for the Lennard-Jones-like Yukawa fluid (zσ =
1.8), the first order mean-spherical approximation (FMSA/HS) due to Tang et Lu has shown to
be only slightly less accurate in the calculations of the thermodynamics and liquid/vapor phase
coexistence than the full MSA theory (details of this comparison and a corresponding discussion can
be found in the [6]). At the same time, the FMSA/HS is a much simpler theory. Abbreviation HS
underlines here that the theory is based on the hard-sphere reference system. In the present study
we reported a further improvement of this approach, which we called a conventional FMSA/HS
theory by introducing the short-ranged Yukawa fluid (with decay parameter zo = 2z) as a new
reference system. Consequently, we are referring to this theory as the FMSA/Y0 theory. Numerical
calculations that we performed for the same model discussed by Tang [6] showed that the proposed
modifications of the reference system make the first order mean-spherical approximation even more
accurate.
It is important that in order to treat the novel reference we are employing the conventional
FMSA/HS approach. Due to this, the level of simplicity and transparency of the improved
FMSA/Y0 theory is kept at the same level as that of the conventional FMSA/HS theory. In
particular, it is easy to see that the resulting new expressions for main ingredients of the FMSA
ideology – the Laplace transforms of the radial distribution function, equation (17), and the Baxter
factorization function, equation (18), of the new reference system, as well as the equation (20) for
the correction term – are only slightly longer than their original counterparts [see equations (4), (5)
and (13)] and both being composed of the same variables, functions and model parameters. Only
the parameter of the FMSA/Y0 theory appears to be the decay parameter zo, for which in the
case of Yukawa fluid we obtained zo = 2z, and which determines an amount of the out-of-core
attraction that should be attributed to the Y0 reference system.

Пропонується новий пiдхiд теорiї збурень на основi середньосферичного наближення першого по-
рядку (ССНПП). Вiн полягає у використаннi твердосферної (ТС) рiдини Юкави в якостi базисної си-
стеми, на основi якої розв’язується рiвняння Орнштейна-Цернiке в рамках теорiї збурень. У роботi
обговорюється вибiр оптимального параметра притягальної далекодiї базисної системи. Результа-
ти порiвнюються зi звичайною теорiєю ССНПП/ТС та моделюванням Монте-Карло, для коефiцiєнта
стисливостi i фазової дiаграми рiдини Юкави. Запропонована теорiя зберiгає попереднiй рiвень
простоти та прозоростi як i звичайне ССНПП/ТС, але є бiльш точною.
