Monte Carlo simulations of the critical properties of the restricted primitive model
Abstract
Description
Recent Monte Carlo simulations of the critical point of the restricted primitive model for ionic solutions are reported. Only the continuum version of the model is considered. A finite size scaling analysis based in the Bruce-Wilding procedure gives critical exponents in agreement with those of the three-dimensional Ising universality class. An anomaly in the scaling of the specific heat with system size is pointed out.
