29. In their study of the full LJ fluid in a slit pore, Schoen and co-workers 45 quoted the critical point parameters in LJ reduced units as being (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) These values differ by up to several percent from those (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) recently determined by J. J. Potoff and A. Z. Panagiotopoulos, J. Chem. Phys. 109, 10 914 (1998), in a FSS analysis of the same potential. We believe that the considerable overestimates of (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) in Refs. 45 account for the authors failure to see the slow critical point decay of (Formula presented) evident in Fig. 55 for large values of f.
