Molecular fields and statistical field theory of fluids: Application to interface phenomena.

Using the integral transformation, the field-theoretical Hamiltonian of the statistical field theory of fluids is obtained along with the microscopic expressions for the coefficients of the Hamiltonian to derive an explicit analytical expression for the surface tension in terms of temperature, density, and parameters of the intermolecular potential.

Field-theoretic simulations beyond δ-interactions: Overcoming the inverse potential problem in auxiliary field models.

This study outlines the inverse potential problem and presents an alternative approach on the basis of a saddle-point approximation, enabling the use of a richer set of pair interaction functions in field-theoretic models.

Self-consistent field theory of density correlations in classical fluids

More than half of a century has passed since the free energy of classical fluids defined by second Legendre transform was derived as a functional of density-density correlation function. It is now…

A mesoscopic field theory of ionic systems versus a collective variable approach

Grand canonical investigations of prototypical polyelectrolyte models beyond the mean field level of approximation.

This paper presents applications of a low-cost field-theoretic calculation approach based on the method of Gaussian equivalent representation, which has recently been proven useful for delivering accurate results in case of polymer solutions beyond the mean field level of approximation.
