Heat capacity of the restricted primitive model near criticality

This concerns the supercritical heat capacity of the "restricted primitive model" of Coulombic systems, one aspect of a more general attempt to study the phase transition and critical behavior of this model using thermodynamic-scaling Monte Carlo techniques. We see no indication of Ising-type divergence of the heat capacity; the strength of the evidence in this regard is discussed. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
