ABSTRACTThe effects of soft repulsions on hard particle systems are calculated using an avoidance model which improves upon the simple mean field approximation. The method not only yields a better free energy, but also gives an estimate for the short-range positional order induced by soft repulsions. The results indicate little short-range order for isotropically oriented rods. However, for parallel rods short-range order increases to significant levels as the particle axial ratio increases.

A new united atom perturbation theory of the interaction of two atoms at small separations is described. The key feature is a similarity transformation of the Schrödinger equation which enables the cusp conditions to be satisfied at both nuclei and preserves the correct molecular symmetry. The first-order theory is examined in detail and compared with other united atom theories. Numerical calculations are presented for the ground states of the systems H + 2 , HeH 2+ HeH, He 2 and Li + He, based mainly on Hartree-Fock wavefunctions for the united atoms, and are compared with accurate molecular calculations. The agreement is remarkably good for separations up to 1 bohr.
