In this work the phase behaviour of noble gases is studied comprehensively by different molecular simulation methods using different intermolecular potentials. The aim is to investigate three-body effects on the phase behaviour of noble gases. A true two-body potential model (Barker-Fisher-Watts potential) and the three-body potential model (Axilrod-Teller term) have been used. The results obtained from the two-body BFW potential with the three-body Axilrod-Teller potential included for the vapour-liquid and solid-liquid phase equilibrium properties of pure noble gases are compared with the calculations using the Lennard-Jones potential with different suggested parameter values. The results have been compared with experimental data and the best parameter values for simulating the thermodynamic properties of noble gases are found. Three-body effects on the phase behaviour of noble gases are reported for a large range of density, temperature and pressure. Simple relationships have been found between two-body and three-body potential energies for pure fluids and solids. Three-body effects on the vapour-liquid phase equilibrium properties of argon, krypton, xenon and argon-krypton systems are studied by the Gibbs-Duhem integration Monte Carlo method. Three-body effects on the solid-liquid phase equilibrium properties of argon, krypton and xenon are investigated by non-equilibrium and equilibrium molecular dynamics techniques. All the calculations have been compared with experimental data, which show that three-body interactions play an important role in the overall interatomic interactions of noble gases. |
