Different thermodynamic pathways to the solvation free energy of a spherical cavity in a hard sphere fluid
Yng-gwei Chen, John D. Weeks
This paper determines the excess free energy associated with the formation of a spherical cavity in a hard sphere fluid. The solvation free energy can be calculated by integration…
