Abstract

Square lattice models for the general dimer and trimer problems are considered. A secondary lattice for the dimer problem is constructed, and a double square Kikuchi calculation produces an athermal molecular freedom within 2% of the known exact result. With interactions, departures from ideality of mixing entropy and vapour pressure are calculated at different temperatures, and an asymmetrical phase separation occurs at a reduced temperature 0.08. The general trimer problem is considered in a single square Kikuchi calculation. A single interaction is included. The molecular freedom and thermodynamic non-ideality of rigid linear, rigid angled and flexible trimers are compared. In the rigid linear case a phase separation occurs at reduced temperature 0.04. The molecular freedom of rigid linear trimers is calculated using higher Kikuchi approximations, and the result agrees well with previous estimates.
