LOCV CALCULATIONS FOR POLARIZED LIQUID 3He: THE EFFECT OF THREE-BODY CLUSTER ENERGY

“…23 In recent years, we have studied the thermodynamic properties of both normal and polarized liquid 3 He at finite temperature. [24][25][26] Our results show a good agreement with the corresponding empirical values. In these calculations, the lowest order constrained variational (LOCV) method based on the cluster expansion of the energy functional has been used.…”

LOWEST ORDER CONSTRAINED VARIATIONAL CALCULATION FOR POLARIZED LIQUID 3He AT FINITE TEMPERATURE

“…Several theoretical techniques and experimental method have been used for investigating the properties of unpolarized liquid 3 He [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. Recently, we have studied the unpolarized liquid 3 He at finite temperature and the spin polarized liquid 3 He at zero temperature [9,10,11]. In this calculations, we have applied the lowest order constrained variational method based on the cluster expansion of the energy functional.…”

“…In this calculations, we have applied the lowest order constrained variational method based on the cluster expansion of the energy functional. This method is a powerful microscopic technique used in the many-body calculations of dense matter [9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18].…”

Critical Behavior of Liquid 3He

“…In this appendix, we give a brief review to obtain the free energy of liquid 3 He using the lowest order constrained variational method based on the cluster expansion of the energy functional (Owen et al, 1977;Modarres, 1997, 1998;Modarres and Bordbar, 1998;Riazi, 2001, 2002;Bordbar, 2002aBordbar, , 2002bBordbar, , 2003Bordbar, , 2004Bordbar and Hashemi, 2002). In this method, We choose a trial many-body wavefunction as…”

“…One of the most powerful techniques in many-body calculations is the variational method which is based on the cluster expansion of the energy functional (lowest order constrained variational method) (Owen et al, 1977;Modarres, 1997, 1998;Modarres and Bordbar, 1998;Riazi, 2001, 2002;Bordbar, 2002aBordbar, , 2002bBordbar, , 2003Bordbar, , 2004Bordbar and Hashemi, 2002). This is a fully self-consistent method and does not introduce any free parameter to the calculations.…”
