Statistical Mechanics of Electrowetting [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
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

Noether’s theorem in statistical mechanics [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications 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]

open access: yesarXiv.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.

Setting Boundaries for Statistical Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yesMolecules, 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 ...

Statistical Mechanics of Zooplankton. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Statistical mechanics provides the link between microscopic properties of many-particle systems and macroscopic properties such as pressure and temperature.

Rényi Entropy in Statistical Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 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]

open access: yesEntropy, 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

Semiclassical Statistical Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yesAIP 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 Directed Networks [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
Directed networks are essential for representing complex systems, capturing the asymmetry of interactions in fields such as neuroscience, transportation, and social networks.
