Dynamics of Spreading of Small Droplets of Chainlike Molecules on Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Dynamics of spreading of small droplets on surfaces has been studied by the molecular dynamics method. Simulations have been performed for mixtures of solvent and dimer, and solvent and tetramer droplets. For solvent particles and dimers, layering occurs

Simulations of Solid-on-Solid Models of Spreading of Viscous Droplets [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
We have studied the dynamics of spreading of viscous non-volatile fluids on surfaces by MC simulations of SOS models. We have concentrated on the complete wetting regime, with surface diffusion barriers neglected for simplicity.

Fluctuating Currents in Stochastic Thermodynamics II. Energy Conversion and Nonequilibrium Response in Kinesin Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Unlike macroscopic engines, the molecular machinery of living cells is strongly affected by fluctuations. Stochastic Thermodynamics uses Markovian jump processes to model the random transitions between the chemical and configurational states of these ...

Reply to "Comment on Generalized Exclusion Processes: Transport Coefficients" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We reply to the comment of Becker, Nelissen, Cleuren, Partoens, and Van den Broeck, Phys. Rev. E 93, 046101 (2016) on our article, Phys. Rev. E 90, 052108 (2014) about transport properties of a class of generalized exclusion processes.Comment: 2 pages, 1

Energy Barriers to Motion of Flux Lines in Random Media

open access: yes, 1995
We propose algorithms for determining both lower and upper bounds for the energy barriers encountered by a flux line in moving through a two-dimensional random potential. Analytical arguments, supported by numerical simulations, suggest that these bounds

Non-hermitean delocalization in an array of wells with variable-range widths

open access: yes, 2000
Nonhermitean hamiltonians of convection-diffusion type occur in the description of vortex motion in the presence of a tilted magnetic field as well as in models of driven population dynamics. We study such hamiltonians in the case of rectangular barriers

Statistics of the work distribution for a quenched Fermi gas

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
The local quench of a Fermi gas, giving rise to the Fermi edge singularity and the Anderson orthogonality catastrophe, is an analytically tractable out-of-equilibrium problem in condensed matter.

Exact scaling solution of the mode coupling equations for non-linear fluctuating hydrodynamics in one dimension

open access: yes, 2016
We obtain the exact solution of the one-loop mode-coupling equations for the dynamical structure function in the framework of non-linear fluctuating hydrodynamics in one space dimension for the strictly hyperbolic case where all characteristic velocities

Efficiency of cellular information processing

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
We show that a rate of conditional Shannon entropy reduction, characterizing the learning of an internal process about an external process, is bounded by the thermodynamic entropy production.

Multicanonical Simulations of the Tails of the Order-Parameter Distribution of the Two-Dimensional Ising Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We report multicanonical Monte Carlo simulations of the tails of the order-parameter distribution of the two-dimensional Ising model for fixed boundary conditions. Clear numerical evidence for "fat" stretched exponential tails is found below the critical
