Statistical Mechanics of Electrowetting [PDF]
EntropyWe derive the ab initio equilibrium statistical mechanics of the gas–liquid–solid contact angle on planar periodic, monodisperse, textured surfaces subject to electrowetting. To that end, we extend an earlier theory that predicts the advance or recession

Noether’s theorem in statistical mechanics [PDF]
Communications Physics, 2021 Noether’s Theorem relates symmetries to fundamental physical laws. Rather than applying the concept to an action integral in order to obtain conservation laws, here the authors consider Statistical Mechanical objects, such as the free energy and density ...

Setting Boundaries for Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
Molecules, 2022 Statistical mechanics has grown without bounds in space. Statistical mechanics of noninteracting point particles in an unbounded perfect gas is widely used to describe liquids like concentrated salt solutions of life and electrochemical technology ...

Rényi Entropy in Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 Rényi entropy was originally introduced in the field of information theory as a parametric relaxation of Shannon (in physics, Boltzmann–Gibbs) entropy. This has also fuelled different attempts to generalise statistical mechanics, although mostly skipping

Statistical Mechanics of Political Polarization [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 Rapidly increasing political polarization threatens democracies around the world. Scholars from several disciplines are assessing and modeling polarization antecedents, processes, and consequences. Social systems are complex and networked. Their constant

Statistical Mechanics of Zooplankton. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Statistical mechanics provides the link between microscopic properties of many-particle systems and macroscopic properties such as pressure and temperature.

Statistical Mechanics of Directed Networks [PDF]
EntropyDirected networks are essential for representing complex systems, capturing the asymmetry of interactions in fields such as neuroscience, transportation, and social networks.

Interventionism in Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
Entropy, 2012 I defend the idea that the fact that no system is entirely isolated (“Interventionism”) can be used to explain the successful use of the microcanonical distribution in statistical mechanics.

Combinatorics and Statistical Mechanics of Integer Partitions [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 We study the set of integer partitions as a probability space that generates distributions and, in the asymptotic limit, obeys thermodynamics. We view ordered integer partition as a configuration of cluster masses and associate them with the distribution

Statistical mechanics of biomolecular condensates via cavity methods [PDF]
iScience, 2023 Summary: Physical mechanisms of phase separation in living systems play key physiological roles and have recently been the focus of intensive studies. The strongly heterogeneous nature of such phenomena poses difficult modeling challenges that require ...
