Abstract:
On the basis of the recently established "hole-particle" symmetry of the lattice-gas Hamiltonian, the high-density equation of state has been derived in a form of pressure and density expansions in powers of activity. This equation is proposed as an alternative and complementary to the previously obtained pressure expansion in powers of density. For the well-known Lee-Yang lattice-gas model (a two-dimensional square lattice with a square-well interaction potential), the power coefficients (i.e., cluster and irreducible cluster integrals) up to the seventh order have been evaluated as accurate functions of temperature. The convergence of the expansions in powers of both density and activity to the exact Lee-Yang solution is investigated.
