Dependence of the liquid-vapor surface tension on the range of   interaction: a test of the law of corresponding states
  The planar surface tension of coexisting liquid and vapor phases of a fluid of Lennard-Jones atoms is studied as a function of the range of the potential using both Monte Carlo simulations and Density Functional Theory. The interaction range is varied from $r_c^* = 2.5$ to $r_c^* = 6$ and the surface tension is determined for temperatures ranging from $T^* = 0.7$ up to the critical temperature in each case. The results are shown to be consistent with previous studies. The simulation data are well-described by Guggenheim's law of corresponding states but the agreement of the theoretical results depends on the quality of the bulk equation of state.
