	abstract = {The vapor-liquid criticality of a fluid of charged hard dumbbells is investigated employing grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations and mixed-field finite-size scaling methods. The reduced critical temperature and density obtained are T-c(*)=0.04911+/-0.00003 and rho(c)(*)=0.101+/-0.003, respectively. The critical temperature is very close to that of the restricted primitive model (RPM) for ionic fluids, while the critical density is similar to25\% larger than that of the RPM. The "fits" to the Ising ordering operator distribution are good, and are of similar quality to those found for the RPM with systems of comparable size. However, for the finite-size systems simulated, the constant volume heat capacity, C-V, gives no indication of an Ising-type "divergence" at T-c. This is analogous to the RPM, and serves to demonstrate that this still puzzling behavior is not restricted to that model. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.},

	abstract = {Grand canonical Monte Carlo calculations are used to investigate the demixing transition in model ionic solutions where the solvent is explicitly included. Charged hard sphere ions in hard sphere, dipolar hard sphere and quadrupolar hard sphere solvents are considered and the results are compared with the primitive (continuum solvent) model. For all solvents considered, it is found that the demixing transition is in the same general region of the phase diagram and is roughly described by liquid-vapor equilibrium in the primitive model. However, details such as the precise location of the critical point and the width of the unstable region depend upon the exact nature of the solvent. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
