Statistical Mechanics of Electrowetting [PDF]

Entropy
We 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

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

Boosted Statistical Mechanics [PDF]

International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2015
Based on the fundamental principles of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, we give a rigorous, but completely elementary, proof of the relation between fundamental observables of a statistical system when measured relatively to two inertial reference frames,

Semiclassical Statistical Mechanics [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1997
We use a semiclassical approximation to derive the partition function for an arbitrary potential in one-dimensional Quantum Statistical Mechanics, which we view as an example of finite temperature scalar Field Theory at a point.

Statistical mechanics of complex networks [PDF]

arXiv.org, 2001
Complex networks describe a wide range of systems in nature and society, much quoted examples including the cell, a network of chemicals linked by chemical reactions, or the Internet, a network of routers and computers connected by physical links.

Statistical mechanics of voting [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 1998
Decision procedures aggregating the preferences of multiple agents can produce cycles and hence outcomes which have been described heuristically as `chaotic'.

Statistical mechanics of money [PDF]

The European Physical Journal B, 2000
In a closed economic system, money is conserved. Thus, by analogy with energy, the equilibrium probability distribution of money must follow the exponential Gibbs law characterized by an effective temperature equal to the average amount of money per ...
