Critical Fluctuations in Models with van der Waals Interactions
Critical Fluctuations in Models with van der Waals Interactions
Particle number fluctuations are considered within the van der Waals (VDW) equation, which contains both attractive (mean-field) and repulsive (eigenvolume) interactions.The VDW equation is used to calculate the scaled variance of particle number fluctuations in generic Boltzmann VDW system and in nuclear matter.The strongly intensive measures ∆[E * , N …
