Energy of the Conduction Band in Near Critical Point Fluids
Figure 1
The quasifree electron energy in argon plotted as a function of argon number density . (a) obtained from various photoinjection studies [3–6] at noncritical temperatures. The average error for these measurements is approximately 0.07 eV [3]. (b) obtained from (3) [2, 7–9] at noncritical temperatures (solid markers) and on an isotherm near the critical temperature (open markers). The average error for these measurements is approximately 0.02 eV [7–9]. The line in (a) is provided as a guide to the eye. The lines in (b) are calculated using the local Wigner-Seitz model (see text for discussion).
