Energy of the Conduction Band in Near Critical Point Fluids

Figure 3

Critical point effects on the local density. (a) Radial distribution function of argon for the noncritical temperature of −118°C (black) and for the critical temperature of −122°C (red). In both cases, the argon density is the critical density (  cm−3). (b) The calculated local density plotted as a function of reduced density in methane at noncritical temperatures (solid line) and on an isotherm near the critical isotherm (dashed line).
