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 ...

Statistical mechanics of complex networks [PDF]
arXiv.org, 2001 The emergence of order in natural systems is a constant source of inspiration for both physical and biological sciences. While the spatial order characterizing for example the crystals has been the basis of many advances in contemporary physics, most ...

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

The statistical mechanics of membranes [PDF]
Physics Reports, 2001 The fluctuations of two-dimensional extended objects membranes is a rich and exciting field with many solid results and a wide range of open issues. We review the distinct universality classes of membranes, determined by the local order, and the associated phase diagrams.
