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 …

The main goal of the present paper is to assess the available information so as to obtain a
general procedure for dealing with the critical enhancement of the thermodynamic and …

The thermodynamic behavior of a fluid near a vapor-liquid and, hence, asymmetric critical
point is discussed within a general “complete” scaling theory incorporating pressure mixing …

After a review of the history and an assessment of the current status of the subject, we
present light-scattering data to determine the critical correlation-function exponents for an …

Synthetic Lubricants and High-Performance Functional Fluids, Second Edition offers state-of-
the-art information on all the major synthetic fluids, describing established products as well …

This review provides an overview of the progress in using the low-gravity environment of
space to explore critical phenomena and test modern theoretical predictions. Gravity …

We have investigated the nature and experimental consequences of vapor-liquid asymmetry
in near-critical fluids within the framework of “complete scaling”[ME Fisher and G. Orkoulas …

While we could argue that the goals of modelling fluid phase equilibria have not changed
greatly since the time of van der Waals, there is little doubt that the systems of interest have …

The extension of the principle of critical-point universality to binary fluid mixtures, known as
isomorphism of critical phenomena, has been reformulated in terms of complete scaling, a …

Abstract Extensive grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations have been performed for the
hard-core square-well fluid with interaction range b= 1.5 σ. The critical exponent for the …
