Abstract

Using the numerical quadrature integration method and a modification of the Mayer sampling Monte Carlo technique proposed recently, the virial coefficients of the known three-parameter Morse potential have been calculated to the seventh order inclusive for potential parameter, aD, values of 3.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, and 10.0. At low temperatures, a certain regularity in the behavior of the virial coefficients of all orders (beginning from the third one) is revealed for various aD-values. This regularity can be approximated by an equation similar to that previously obtained for the Lennard-Jones (12–6) and modified Lennard-Jones models.
