Revision as of 12:18, 4 January 2008

Argon has a mass of 39.948 umas. The Lennard-Jones parameters for liquid argon are 119.8 K and 0.3405 nm. (Ref. 1). Barker, Fisher and Watts used the values 142.095 K and 0.33605 nm. (Ref. 2 Table 1). A more recent study suggests the parameters 125.7 K and 0.3345 nm (Ref. 3 parameter set #4)
