The integrals are over the full two-dimensional volume F. For the classical contribution to the free energy /3/d([p]) the Ramakrishnan-Yussouff functional has been used in the form recently introduced by Ebner et al. [314] which is known to reproduce accurately the phase diagram of the Lennard-Jones system in three dimensions. In the classical part of the free energy functional, as an input the Ornstein-Zernike direct correlation function for the hard disc fluid is required. For the DFT calculations reported, the accurate and convenient analytic form due to Rosenfeld [315] has been used for this quantity. 

Most integral equations are based on the Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equation [3-5]. The idea behind the OZ equation is to divide the total correlation function h ri2) iiito a direct correlation function (DCF) c r 12) that describes the fact that molecules 1 and 2 can be directly correlated, and an indirect correlation function 7( 12), that describes the correlation of molecule 1 with the other molecules that are also correlated with molecule 2. At low densities, when only direct correlations are possible, 7(r) = 0. At higher densities, where only triplet correlations are possible, we can write... 

The structure of the bulk associating fluid in the framework of the model in question can be determined by solving the common Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equation... 

To discuss briefly the reformulation of the Ornstein-Zernike equation it is most convenient to consider the case of one associating site per molecule, M = 1. A more general derivation can be found, for example, in Ref. 104. The most important ingredient for the following derivation is the associative Mayer function. It characterizes the bonding effects and is...

However, the partials h j, and the partials of the direet eorrelation funetion Cij, the latter defined as the subsets of graphs in without bridge points, are related via a Wertheim-type multidensity Ornstein-Zernike equation... 

In order to obtain a elosed set of equations, the Ornstein-Zernike-like equation (70) must be supplemented by a elosure approximation. The asso-eiative generalization of the Pereus-Yeviek elosure reads [9,10]... 

The multidensity Ornstein-Zernike equation (70) and the self-consistency relation (71) actually describe a nonuniform system. To solve these equations numerically for inhomogeneous fluids one needs only an appropriate generalization of the Lowett-Mou-Buff-Wertheim equation (14). Such a generalization, employing the concept of the partial correlation function has been considered in Refs. 34,35. 

These two equations represent the assoeiative analogue of Eq. (14) for the partial one-partiele eavity funetion. It is eonvenient to use equivalent equations eontaining the inhomogeneous total pair eorrelation funetions. Similarly to the theory of inhomogeneous nonassoeiating fluids, this equiva-lenee is established by using the multidensity Ornstein-Zernike equation (68). Eq. (14) then reduees to [35]... 

As in Sec. II, we consider a mixture composed of a dimerizing one-component fluid and a giant hard sphere [21,119]. We begin with the multidensity Ornstein-Zernike equation for the mixture... 

Eq. (101) is the multidensity Ornstein-Zernike equation for the bulk, one-component dimerizing fluid. Eqs. (102) and (103) are the associative analog of the singlet equation (31). The last equation of the set, Eq. (104), describes the correlations between two giant particles and may be important for theories of colloid dispersions. The partial correlation functions yield three... 

The singlet multidensity Ornstein-Zernike approach for the density profile described in this section has also been applied to study the role of association effects in the ionic liquid at an electrified interface [22]. 

In Sec. 3 our presentation is focused on the most important results obtained by different authors in the framework of the rephca Ornstein-Zernike (ROZ) integral equations and by simulations of simple fluids in microporous matrices. For illustrative purposes, we discuss some original results obtained recently in our laboratory. Those allow us to show the application of the ROZ equations to the structure and thermodynamics of fluids adsorbed in disordered porous media. In particular, we present a solution of the ROZ equations for a hard sphere mixture that is highly asymmetric by size, adsorbed in a matrix of hard spheres. This example is relevant in describing the structure of colloidal dispersions in a disordered microporous medium. On the other hand, we present some of the results for the adsorption of a hard sphere fluid in a disordered medium of spherical permeable membranes. The theory developed for the description of this model agrees well with computer simulation data. Finally, in this section we demonstrate the applications of the ROZ theory and present simulation data for adsorption of a hard sphere fluid in a matrix of short chain molecules. This example serves to show the relevance of the theory of Wertheim to chemical association for a set of problems focused on adsorption of fluids and mixtures in disordered microporous matrices prepared by polymerization of species. 

The direct correlation function c is the sum of all graphs in h with no nodal points. The cluster expansions for the correlation functions were first obtained and analyzed in detail by Madden and Glandt [15,16]. However, the exact equations for the correlation functions, which have been called the replica Ornstein-Zernike (ROZ) equations, have been derived by Given and Stell [17-19]. These equations, for a one-component fluid in a one-component matrix, have the following form... 

However, before proceeding with the description of simulation data, we would like to comment the theoretical background. Similarly to the previous example, in order to obtain the pair correlation function of matrix spheres we solve the common Ornstein-Zernike equation complemented by the PY closure. Next, we would like to consider the adsorption of a hard sphere fluid in a microporous environment provided by a disordered matrix of permeable species. The fluid to be adsorbed is considered at density pj = pj-Of. The equilibrium between an adsorbed fluid and its bulk counterpart (i.e., in the absence of the matrix) occurs at constant chemical potential. However, in the theoretical procedure we need to choose the value for the fluid density first, and calculate the chemical potential afterwards. The ROZ equations, (22) and (23), are applied to decribe the fluid-matrix and fluid-fluid correlations. These correlations are considered by using the PY closure, such that the ROZ equations take the Madden-Glandt form as in the previous example. The structural properties in terms of the pair correlation functions (the fluid-matrix function is of special interest for models with permeabihty) cannot represent the only issue to investigate. Moreover, to perform comparisons of the structure under different conditions we need to calculate the adsorption isotherms pf jSpf). The chemical potential of a... 

To the best of our knowledge, there was only one attempt to consider inhomogeneous fluids adsorbed in disordered porous media [31] before our recent studies [32,33]. Inhomogeneous rephca Ornstein-Zernike equations, complemented by either the Born-Green-Yvon (BGY) or the Lovett-Mou-Buff-Wertheim (LMBW) equation for density profiles, have been proposed to study adsorption of a fluid near a plane boundary of a disordered matrix, which has been assumed uniform in a half-space [31]. However, the theory has not been complemented by any numerical solution. Our main goal is to consider a simple model for adsorption of a simple fluid in confined porous media and to solve it. In this section we follow our previously reported work [32,33]. 

The correlation functions of the partly quenched system satisfy a set of replica Ornstein-Zernike equations (21)-(23). Each of them is a 2 x 2 matrix equation for the model in question. As in previous studies of ionic systems (see, e.g.. Refs. 69, 70), we denote the long-range terms of the pair correlation functions in ROZ equations by qij. Here we apply a linearized theory and assume that the long-range terms of the direct correlation functions are equal to the Coulomb potentials which are given by Eqs. (53)-(55). This assumption represents the mean spherical approximation for the model in question. Most importantly, (r) = 0 as mentioned before, the particles from different replicas do not interact. However, q]f r) 7 0 these functions describe screening effects of the ion-ion interactions between ions from different replicas mediated by the presence of charged obstacles, i.e., via the matrix. The functions q j (r) need to be obtained to apply them for proper renormalization of the ROZ equations for systems made of nonpoint ions. 

Our main focus in this chapter has been on the applications of the replica Ornstein-Zernike equations designed by Given and Stell [17-19] for quenched-annealed systems. This theory has been shown to yield interesting results for adsorption of a hard sphere fluid mimicking colloidal suspension, for a system of multiple permeable membranes and for a hard sphere fluid in a matrix of chain molecules. Much room remains to explore even simple quenched-annealed models either in the framework of theoretical approaches or by computer simulation. 

Considerable progress has been made in the last decade in the development of more analytical methods for studying the structural and thermodynamic properties of liquids. One particularly successful theoretical approach is. based on an Ornstein-Zernike type integral equation for determining the solvent structure of polar liquids as well as the solvation of solutes.Although the theory provides a powerful tool for elucidating the structure of liquids in...

Scattering and Disorder. For structure close to random disorder the SAXS frequently exhibits a broad shoulder that is alternatively called liquid scattering ([206] [86], p. 50) or long-period peak . Let us consider disordered, concentrated systems. A poor theory like the one of Porod [18] is not consistent with respect to disorder, as it divides the volume into equal lots before starting to model the process. He concludes that statistical population (of the lots) does not lead to correlation. Better is the theory of Hosemann [158,211], His distorted structure does not pre-define any lots, and consequently it is able to describe (discrete) liquid scattering. The problems of liquid scattering have been studied since the early days of statistical physics. To-date several approximations and some analytical solutions are known. Most frequently applied [201,212-216] is the Percus-Yevick [217] approximation of the Ornstein-Zernike integral equation. The approximation offers a simple descrip-... 

The starting point for the calculation of g(r) is the Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equation, which, for a one-component system of liquids interacting via spherically symmetric potentials (e.g. Argon), is [89]...

A PCF is important not only as a mathematical expression but also as a measurable quantity in scattering or diffraction experiments. It is also possible to obtain a PCF by simply using computers. By employing molecular simulations such as Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics, a PCF can be calculated directly. Now, we have another way to obtain a PCF. The central equation of this strategy is the Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equation given below [1,2]... 

The PRISM (Polymer-Reference-Interaction-Site model) theory is an extension of the Ornstein-Zernike equation to molecular systems [20-22]. It connects the total correlation function h(r)=g(r) 1, where g(r) is the pair correlation function, with the direct correlation function c(r) and intramolecular correlation functions (co r)). For a primitive model of a polyelectrolyte solution with polymer chains and counterions only, there are three different relevant correlation functions the monomer-monomer, the counterion-counterion, and the monomer-counterion correlation function [23, 24]. Neglecting chain end effects and considering all monomers as equivalent, we obtain the following three PRISM equations for a homogeneous and isotropic system in Fourier space ...
