Hard-core Yukawa model for two-dimensional charge-stabilized colloids.

The hypernetted chain and Percus-Yevick approximations are used to study the phase diagram of a simple hard-core Yukawa model of charge-stabilized colloidal particles in a two-dimensional system. We calculate the static structure factor and the pair distribution function over a wide range of parameters. Using static correlation functions, we present an estimate for the liquid-solid phase diagram for a wide range of parameters.
