Total energy calculations of three- and four-atomic silver clusters have been performed by the spin-polarized version of the CNDO/2 method to get the most stable equilibrium geometries, atomization energies, and charge and spin distribution on the atoms for three different basis sets: {s}, {sp}, and {spd}. When viewed from the equilateral triangle and square geometries, the last electronic configuration, i.e. the {spd} one, appears to be most stable with respect to the geometrical deformations considered. In this case, the behaviour of the atoms of both clusters resembles that of hard spheres (i.e. close-packing).

Various truncations for the virial series of a binary fluid mixture of additive hard spheres are used to analyze the location of the critical consolute point of this system for different size asymmetries. The effect of uncertainties in the values of the eighth virial coefficients on the resulting critical constants is assessed. It is also shown that a replacement of the exact virial coefficients in lieu of the corresponding coefficients in the virial expansion of the analytical Boublík–Mansoori–Carnahan–Starling–Leland equation of state, which still leads to an analytical equation of state, may lead to a critical consolute point in the system.

The sedimentation velocity of colloidal dispersions is known from experiment and theory at dilute concentrations to be quite sensitive to the interparticle potential with attractions/repulsions increasing/decreasing the rate significantly at intermediate volume fractions. Since the differences necessarily disappear at close packing, this implies a substantial maximum in the rate for attractions. This paper describes the derivation of a robust upper bound on the velocity that reflects these trends quantitatively and motivates wider application of a simple theory formulated for hard spheres. The treatment pertains to sedimentation velocities slow enough that Brownian motion sustains an equilibrium microstructure without large-scale inhomogeneities in density.
