We review results concerning the critical behavior of spin systems at equilibrium. We
consider the Ising and the general O (N)-symmetric universality classes, including the N→ 0 …

A critical review is given of status and perspectives of Monte Carlo simulations that address
bulk and interfacial phase transitions of ferromagnetic Ising models. First, some basic …

This comprehensive systematic overview covers the static and dynamic critical phenomena
of real, non-ideal fluids in the nearest vicinity of the critical point, offers new approaches and …

We present a parametric equation for the thermodynamic properties in the critical region of
three-dimensional Ising-like systems which include fluids and fluid mixtures. The equation of …

Motivated by controversies in the literature on the microscopic and mesoscopic structure of
some aqueous solutions, we have performed static and dynamic light-scattering …

To examine the nature of criticality in ionic fluids we have analyzed experimental liquid–
liquid coexistence and susceptibility data for various ionic solutions. We show that ionic …

We examine whether the mode-coupling theory of Kawasaki and Ferrell (KF)[Kawasaki, K.
Kinetic Equations and Time Correlation Functions of Critical Fluctuations. Ann. Phys. 1970 …

We address a controversial issue regarding the nature of critical behavior in ternary
electrolyte solutions of water, 3-methylpyridine, and sodium bromide. Earlier light-scattering …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the current status of equations of state for fluids
and fluid mixtures in the critical region. Critical phenomena in fluids have been the subject of …
