Maximizing Free Energy Gain [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
Maximizing the amount of work harvested from an environment is important for a wide variety of biological and technological processes, from energy-harvesting processes such as photosynthesis to energy storage systems such as fuels and batteries. Here, we

Gibbs free energy and Helmholtz free energy for a three-dimensional Ising-like model [PDF]

open access: yesCondensed Matter Physics, 2011
The critical behavior of a 3D Ising-like system is studied at the microscopic level of consideration. The free energy of ordering is calculated analytically as an explicit function of temperature, an external field and the initial parameters of the model.

Escaping free-energy minima [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002
We introduce a powerful method for exploring the properties of the multidimensional free energy surfaces (FESs) of complex many-body systems by means of coarse-grained non-Markovian dynamics in the space defined by a few collective coordinates. A characteristic feature of these dynamics is the presence of a history-dependent potential term that, in ...

From free-energy profiles to activation free energies

open access: yesThe Journal of Chemical Physics, 2022
Given a chemical reaction going from reactant (R) to the product (P) on a potential energy surface (PES) and a collective variable (CV) discriminating between R and P, we define the free-energy profile (FEP) as the logarithm of the marginal Boltzmann distribution of the CV. This FEP is not a true free energy. Nevertheless, it is common to treat the FEP

Molecular thermal motion harvester for electricity conversion

open access: yesAPL Materials, 2023
Molecular thermal motion has been studied but yet never been utilized as an energy source. In this work, we demonstrate that the energy of liquid molecular thermal motion can be converted into electrical energy by a novel harvesting device, the molecular

Analytical Expressions for Ising Models on High Dimensional Lattices

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
We use an m-vicinity method to examine Ising models on hypercube lattices of high dimensions d≥3. This method is applicable for both short-range and long-range interactions.

Free energy and defect C-theorem in free fermion

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
We describe a p-dimensional conformal defect of a free Dirac fermion on a d-dimensional flat space as boundary conditions on a conformally equivalent space ℍ p+1 × S $$ \mathbbm{S} $$ d−p−1.

Psychophysical identity and free energy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
An approach to implementing variational Bayesian inference in biological systems is considered, under which the thermodynamic free energy of a system directly encodes its variational free energy.
