Notes:
A method to obtain (approximate) analytical expressions for the radial distribution functions and structure factors in a multicomponent system of sticky hard spheres is introduced. In its simplest implementation, the method yields the Percus–Yevick approximation. In the next order, only contact values of the cavity functions and the isothermal compressibility are required. Some tentative strategies to determine the input values are discussed. Illustrative examples following these strategies, in which the radial distribution functions and structure factors are computed, are also presented. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
