We treat the inverse-power, Asakura-Oosawa, and Lennard-Jones potentials within the soft fundamental measure theory. We show that this recently proposed density-functional approach is able to predict the pair correlations in the fluid phase reliably compared to computer simulations.

DFT for soft potentials
Based on the hard sphere case [5] [6], a density functional theory (DFT) for soft (i.e. continuously varying as a function of interparticle distance) potentials was obtained by considering dimensional crossover [8], and subsequently extended to mixtures [10]. Applications concern the liquid structure of model fluids [13], and structure and freezing of star polymer solutions [15] (see also [16].)[more]
