Energy of the Conduction Band in Near Critical Point Fluids
Figure 4
Local Wigner-Seitz calculation for CH4. The calculated (a) average electron/perturber polarization energy and (b) zero-point kinetic energy plotted as a function of the CH4 number density , at noncritical temperatures (solid lines), and on an isotherm near the critical temperature (dashed lines).
