Computing the Absolute Gibbs Free Energy in Atomistic Simulations: Applications to Defects in Solids [PDF]
, 2017 The Gibbs free energy is the fundamental thermodynamic potential underlying the relative stability of different states of matter under constant-pressure conditions. However, computing this quantity from atomic-scale simulations is far from trivial.

Structural Dynamics, 2019 Theoretical and experimental methodologies that can characterize electronic and nuclear dynamics, and the coupling between the two, are needed to understand photoinduced charge transfer in molecular building blocks used in organic photovoltaics.

Entropy, 2022 The underlying mechanism determining the size of a particular cell is one of the fundamental unknowns in cell biology. Here, using a new approach that could be used for most of unicellular species, we show that the protein synthesis and cell size are ...

Inquiries into the Nature of Free Energy and Entropy in Respect to Biochemical Thermodynamics [PDF]
, 2000 Free energy and entropy are examined in detail from the standpoint of classical thermodynamics. The approach is logically based on the fact that thermodynamic work is mediated by thermal energy through the tendency for nonthermal energy to convert ...

Synthese, 2007 If one formulates Helmholtz's ideas about perception in terms of modern-day theories one arrives at a model of perceptual inference and learning that can explain a remarkable range of neurobiological facts. Using constructs from statistical physics it can be shown that the problems of inferring what cause our sensory input and learning causal ...

Entropy Pair Functional Theory: Direct Entropy Evaluation Spanning Phase Transitions
Entropy, 2021 We prove that, within the class of pair potential Hamiltonians, the excess entropy is a universal, temperature-independent functional of the density and pair correlation function. This result extends Henderson’s theorem, which states that the free energy

Asymptotically Free Partons at High Energy [PDF]
, 1997 We describe the application of renormalization group improved perturbative QCD to inelastic lepton-hadron scattering at high center-of-mass energy but comparatively low photon virtuality. We construct a high energy factorization theorem which complements

Thermodynamic Integration in 3n Dimensions Without Biases or Alchemy for Protein Interactions
Frontiers in Physics, 2020 Thermodynamic integration (TI), a powerful formalism for computing Gibbs free energy, has been implemented for many biophysical processes with alchemical schemes that require delicate human efforts to choose/design biasing potentials for sampling the ...

Free-energy calculations [PDF]
, 2002 The techniques that can be used to study phase diagrams numerically depend on the character of the phase transitions. In particular, there is quite a difference among the tools used to study first-order phase transitions and those applied to analyze critical phenomena near continuous phase transitions.

A determination of interface free energies [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1994 We determine the interface free energy $F_{o.d.}$ between disordered and ordered phases in the q=10 and q=20 2-d Potts models using the results of multicanonical Monte Carlo simulations on $L^2$ lattices, and suitable finite volume estimators. Our results, when extrapolated to the infinite volume limit, agree to high precision with recent analytical ...
