Abstract
A new method has been developed that permits the Monte Carlo simulation of systems in which the intermolecular potential contains a well which is both infinitely deep and infinitesimally wide. Adhesive potentials of this type are analytically tractable and have been used in a number of applications. The simulation algorithm combines the generation and acceptance steps of the conventional Metropolis method to overcome the effect of the singularity in the potential. The method is applied to a two-dimensional system of adhesive disks. Results are reported for the equation of state and the radial distribution function, which has delta function peaks not present in the three-dimensional Percus–Yevick solution. We also present an exact solution for one-dimensional adhesive rods.
