Maximizing Free Energy Gain [PDF]
EntropyMaximizing 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]
Condensed 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.

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

Analytical Expressions for Ising Models on High Dimensional Lattices
Entropy, 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.

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.

Journal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2018 Vapour barriers and retarders are often needed to improve the hygro-thermal performance of the building envelope. Their use is particularly important in prefabricated timber façades, especially when critical boundary conditions occur.
