15 Dec 2000 | Subject: | Statistical Mechanics; Soft Condensed Matter | cond-mat.stat-mech cond-mat.soft | Abstract: | We examine the thermodynamic limit of fluids of hard core particles that are polydisperse in size and shape. In addition, particles may interact magnetically. Free energy of such systems is a random variable because it depends on the choice of particles. We prove that the thermodynamic limit exists with probability 1, and is independent of the choice of particles. Our proof applies to polydisperse hard-sphere fluids, colloids and ferrofluids. The existence of a thermodynamic limit implies system shape and size independence of thermodynamic properties of a system. | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0012281 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
