title: Interfacial and coexistence properties of soft spheres with a short-range attractive Yukawa fluid: molecular dynamics simulations.
abstract: Molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to obtain the interfacial and coexistence properties of soft-sphere attractive Yukawa (SAY) fluids with short attraction range, κ = 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, and 5. All our simulation results are new. These data are also compared with the recently reported results in the literature of hard-core attractive Yukawa (HAY) fluids. We show that the interfacial and coexistence properties of both potentials are different. For the surveyed systems, here we show that all coexistence curves collapse into a master curve when we rescale with their respective critical points and the surface tension curves form a single master curve when we plot γ* vs. T/T(c).
