Entropy, 2022 The Rényi entropy is a generalization of the usual concept of entropy which depends on a parameter q. In fact, Rényi entropy is closely related to free energy. Suppose we start with a system in thermal equilibrium and then suddenly divide the temperature

From free-energy profiles to activation free energies
The 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
APL 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

Free energy and defect C-theorem in free fermion
Journal 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]
, 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.

Free energy and defect C-theorem in free scalar theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We describe conformal defects of p dimensions in a free scalar theory on a d-dimensional flat space as boundary conditions on the conformally flat space ℍ p+1 × 𝕊 d−p−1.
