The Xenon Interaction Potential from the Extended Principle of Corresponding States

Abstract

Direct inversion method is used to obtain the xenon interaction potential from the extended principle of corresponding states. We have employed the experimentally reduced viscosity collision integrals obtained from the corresponding-states correlation, and performed an INVERT to determine the reduced potential energy curve corresponding to this collision integral. Comparison of this with the potential independently known from molecular-beam scattering shows a good agreement with the Lee potential.
