From Lollipops to Square Well Lines

Abstract

Generally accepted standard models exist for spherically symmetric molecules or colloidal particles. Hard-sphere and Lennard-Jones systems are used as a first approximation to simple real fluids, providing a common ground for theoretical and numerical treatment.

For linearly extended particles no successful standard model has yet been defined.

After a short survey of existing linear models two new attempts are described: the LJL (Lennard-Jones Lines) and the SWL (Square Well Line) models.
