Statistical Physics of Evolving Systems [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
Evolution is customarily perceived as a biological process. However, when formulated in terms of physics, evolution is understood to entail everything.

Statistical physics of balance theory. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Triadic relationships are accepted to play a key role in the dynamics of social and political networks. Building on insights gleaned from balance theory in social network studies and from Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical physics, we propose a model to ...

Discussion on Electron Temperature of Gas-Discharge Plasma with Non-Maxwellian Electron Energy Distribution Function Based on Entropy and Statistical Physics [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
Electron temperature is reconsidered for weakly-ionized oxygen and nitrogen plasmas with its discharge pressure of a few hundred Pa, with its electron density of the order of 1017m−3 and in a state of non-equilibrium, based on thermodynamics and ...

Statistical Issues in Particle Physics -- A View from BaBar [PDF]

open access: greenECONF C030908:WEAT002,2003, 2003
The statistical methods used in deriving physics results in the BaBar collaboration are reviewed, with especial emphasis on areas where practice is not uniform in particle physics.

Capture and transport of rod-shaped cargo via programmable active particles

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
We study the influence of the cargo shape on the capture and transport process of colloidal rods via swarms of active particles using Brownian dynamics simulations.

Possible route to efficient thermoelectric applications in a driven fractal network

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
An essential attribute of many fractal structures is self-similarity. A Sierpinski gasket (SPG) triangle is a promising example of a fractal lattice that exhibits localized energy eigenstates.

Wang--Landau algorithm for entropic sampling of arch-based microstates in the volume ensemble of static granular packings [PDF]

open access: yesPapers in Physics, 2015
We implement the Wang-Landau algorithm to sample with equal probabilities the static configurations of a model granular system. The "non-interacting rigid arch model" used is based on the description of static configurations by means of splitting the ...

Inclusion statistics and particle condensation in 2 dimensions [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. E 107, L062102 (2023), 2023
We propose a new type of quantum statistics, which we call inclusion statistics, in which particles tend to coalesce more than ordinary bosons. Inclusion statistics is defined in analogy with exclusion statistics, in which statistical exclusion is stronger than in Fermi statistics, but now extrapolating beyond Bose statistics, resulting in statistical ...

Introducing Quantum and Statistical Physics in the Footsteps of Einstein: A Proposal

open access: yesUniverse, 2021
Introducing some fundamental concepts of quantum physics to high school students, and to their teachers, is a timely challenge. In this paper we describe ongoing research, in which a teaching–learning sequence for teaching quantum physics, whose ...
