Two-body attraction

The globule seeks to minimize this free energy, by balancing the two-body attraction (v < 0) and three-body repulsion (w > 0) terms ... 

A model with two-body attraction and three-body repulsion... 

The preceding discussions showed that it is necessary to introduce both two-body attractive forces and three-body repulsive forces. Now, as we showed in Chapter 8, Flory s results can be obtained by minimizing the free energy and we can write [see (8.1.33)]. 

An extension of this approach, explicitly including solvation and ions, was developed by deMille et al. (DeMille et al., 2011), where the monatomic water model mW and its extension to ionic solutions were incorporated [DeMille and Molinero, 2009). In the mW model, the structure of liquid water is reproduced via the interplay between the two-body attraction terms, which favor high coordination, and the three-body repulsion terms, which promote tetrahedral configurations. However, the overall treatment of electrostatics in this combined mW/3SPN.2 DNA model seems rather ad hoc and further theoretical justification and exploration are needed. 

The early interpretation of high energy nucleon collision experiments led to the Serber mixture of nuclear forces. In this mixture, the exchange forces are equal to the non-exchange. However, such a mixture will not lead to saturation the ratio should be four to one (q.v. Wigner condition Blatt and Weiss-KOPF [3], Chapt III). The Wigner condition of 4 to 1 is on the assumption that nuclear forces are two-body attractive forces which are velocity independent. 

This contraction effect in the first order of y is somewhat weaker for (/ ) than for (/) ). According to the definition, (R ) (see Equation 205) is more sensitive to the coil state at. short di.stances, where the three-body repulsion interactions arc likely to predominate over the. two-body attraction inter2ictions, which was pointed out by Khokhlov (1977). 

Elquation 5.1 4 indicates that at the 0 temperature, the morphological state of a coil is characterized by a balance of fine interaction effects concerned with the two-body attraction interactions being compensated for by the three-body repulsion interactions. 

AF is the energy required to separate two bodies from a distance Zq to infinity. The two bodies attract each other by a force <7 in N m . This is illustrated in Figure 11.30. 

We use mixing rules to extend equations of state to mixtures. The mixing rules allow us to extrapolate these equations to mixtures, from mosdy pure component data. Mixing rules for van der Waals-type parameters a and b were developed based on a two-body attractive interaction and a hard sphere repulsion, respectively. The binary interaction parameter allows us to better describe the cross coefficient, ai however, data from the mixture are needed. Mixing rules for the viral coefficients arise from a theoretical basis. Mixing rules for the second virial coefficient, B, are based on two-body interactions for the third virial coefficient, C, on three-body interactions and so on. Finally, Kay s rules were presented, from which we can find the psuedocritical properties of the mixture from the pure component properties. These values allow us to apply the generalized compressibility charts to mixtures. 

If, however, some other physical law were to be introduced so that, for instance, the attractive force between two bodies would be proportional to the product of their masses, then this relation between F and M would no longer hold. It should be noted that mass has essentially two connotations. First, it is a measure of the amount of material and appears in this role when the density of a fluid or solid is considered. Second, it is a measure of the inertia of the material when used, for example, in equations 1.1-1.3. Although mass is taken normally taken as the third fundamental quantity, as already mentioned, in some engineering systems force is used in place of mass which then becomes a derived unit. 

The phenomenon of attraction of masses is one of the most amazing features of nature, and it plays a fundamental role in the gravitational method. Everything that we are going to derive is based on the fact that each body attracts other. Clearly this indicates that a body generates a force, and this attraction is observed for extremely small particles, as well as very large ones, like planets. It is a universal phenomenon. At the same time, the Newtonian theory of attraction does not attempt to explain the mechanism of transmission of a force from one body to another. In the 17th century Newton discovered this phenomenon, and, moreover, he was able to describe the role of masses and distance between them that allows us to calculate the force of interaction of two particles. To formulate this law of attraction we suppose that particles occupy elementary volumes AF( ) and AF(p), and their position is characterized by points q and p, respectively, see Fig. 1.1a. It is important to emphasize that dimensions of these volumes are much smaller than the distance Lgp between points q and p. This is the most essential feature of elementary volumes or particles, and it explains why the points q and p can be chosen anywhere inside these bodies. Then, in accordance with Newton s law of attraction the particle around point q acts on the particle around point p with the force d ip) equal to... 

Because stability depends on the ability of the particles to remain at discrete distances from each other, the well-known relation described by Morse (5) can be used as a starting point for stabilization mechanisms. As shown in Figure 3, two uncharged (and nonrepelling) bodies approach each other until they have attained an equilibrium distance corresponding to the position of minimum energy. The solid line actually represents a compromise between the repulsive forces operative between two atoms when their electron clouds overlap and the attraction which always exists between two bodies. 

In order to identify these other conditions, Bernard develops philosophical ideas on the nature of phenomena which are relationships between bodies, requiring at least two bodies to achieve any kind of existence, like in mechanics (attraction and gravitation), electricity, chemistry, and so on. The same is true for life. Life, Bernard says, is the result of the contact... 

In engineering systems, however, force is considered in a more practical or pragmatic context as well. This is because the mass of a body is not usually measured directly but is instead determined by its weight (IF), i.e., the gravitational force resulting from the mutual attraction between two bodies of mass mx and m2 ... 

Here the first term reproduces the effective two-body repulsion and the second the effective two-body van der Waals attraction, is the interatomic distance, whereas A, p and C are constants that are usually determined empirically. The repulsive term is steeply increasing at low interatomic distances but quickly becomes negligible beyond the nearest neighbour distance. 

As noted above at higher densities the EoS is sensitive to 3NF contributions. Whereas the 3NF for low densities seems now well understood its contribution to nuclear matter densities remains unsettled. In practice in calculations of the symmetry energy in the BHF approach two types of 3NF have been used in calculations in ref.[4] the microscopic 3NF based upon meson exchange by Grange et al. was used, and in ref. [15] as well in most VCS calculations the Urbana interaction. The latter has in addition to an attractive microscopic two-pion exchange part a repulsive phenomenological part constructed in such a way that the empirical saturation point for SNM is reproduced. Also in practice in the BHF approach to simplify the computational efforts the 3NF is reduced to a density dependent two-body force by averaging over the position of the third particle. 

A related potential form, which was primarily developed to reproduce, structural energetics of silicon, was introduced by Tersoff and was based on ideas discussed by Abell . The binding energy in the AbeH-Tersoff expression is written as a sum of repulsive and attractive two-body interactions, with the attractive contribution being modified by a many-body term. 

Others (e.g., Fukashi Sasaki s upper bound on eigenvalues of 2-RDM [2]). Claude Garrod and Jerome Percus [3] formally wrote the necessary and sufficient A -representability conditions. Hans Kummer [4] provided a generalization to infinite spaces and a nice review. Independently, there were some clever practical attempts to reduce the three-body and four-body problems to a reduced two-body problem without realizing that they were actually touching the variational 2-RDM method Fritz Bopp [5] was very successful for three-electron atoms and Richard Hall and H. Post [6] for three-nucleon nuclei (if assuming a fully attractive nucleon-nucleon potential).

Table 1.3 Interaction Energies and Forces of Attraction Between Two Bodies with Different Geometries... 

Since aggregation is also an important phenomenon in other areas (pigments, paints, powder handUng, etc.) numerous studies deal with the interaction of particles [20]. When two bodies enter into contact they are attracted to each other. The strength of adhesion between the particles is determined by their size and surface energy [21,22], i.e. ... 

The strategy for scaling up the van der Waals attraction to macroscopic bodies requires that all pairwise combinations of intermolecular attraction between the two bodies be summed. This has been done for several different geometries by Hamaker. We consider only one example of the calculations involved, namely, the case of blocks of material with planar surfaces. This example serves to illustrate the method and also provides a foundation for connecting van der Waals forces with surface tension, the subject of the next section.
