Abstract
IN 1937, Prof. J. E. Lennard-Jones and Dr. A. F. Devonshire published two important papers on “Critical Phenomena in Gases” in which they regarded each atom of a dense assembly, irrespective of physical state, as moving in the field of force of its neighbours and confined by them to a small region of space equal to the mean available volume per atom. The methods and theory of these papers have now been extended in two further papers.
