Abstract
Abstract
The Kirkwood-Buff (KB) solution theory provides a robust framework to evaluate macroscopic thermodynamic properties such as compressibility and chemical potential from microscopic pair correlation functions (radial distribution functions) and vice-versa. These relations have been used extensively in experimental and simulation studies to understand solubility and preferential interaction. In this talk, I will discuss the derivation of the theoretical framework and present some studies where it has been employed.
