This article is a continuation of our previous works (see Yukhnovskii I.R. et al., J. Stat. Phys, 1995, 80, 405 and references therein), where we have described the behavior of a simple system of interacting particles in the region of…
We investigate the crystallization rate of a one-component plasma (OCP) in the context of classical nucleation theory. From our derivation of the free energy of an arbitrary distribution of solid clusters embedded in a liquid phase, we…
We study an unconventional two-dimensional, two-component classical plasma on a sphere, with emphasis on detecting signatures of melting transitions. This system is relevant to Ising-type quantum Hall states, and is unconventional in the…
Any interface boundary in an equilibrium system of Coulomb particles is accompanied by the existence of a finite difference in the average electrostatic potential through this boundary. This interface potential drop is a thermodynamic…
Liquid-gas phase transition in statistical mechanics is a long-standing dilemma not yet well explained. In this paper we propose a novel approach to this dilemma, by: 1). Putting forth a new space homogeneity assumption. 2). Giving a new…
We consider a one-dimensional classical Wigner jellium, not necessarily charge neutral, for which the electrons are allowed to exist beyond the support of the background charge. The model can be seen as a one-dimensional Coulomb gas in…
Mirror modes in collisionless high-temperature plasmas represent macroscopic high-temperature quasi-superconductors. We explicitly calculate the bouncing electron contribution to the ion-mode growth rate, diamagnetic surface current…
We study an ideal-gas-like model where the particles exchange energy stochastically, through energy conserving scattering processes, which take place if and only if at least one of the two particles has energy below a certain energy…
A modified shoving model is applied to estimate the location of the glass transition in a one-component plasma. The estimated value of the coupling parameter $\Gamma\simeq 570$ at the glass transition is compared with other predictions…
In this paper we study theoretically the process of electron capture between one-optical-electron atoms (e.g. hydrogenlike or alkali atoms) and ions at low-to-medium impact velocities ($v/v_e \approx 1$) working on a modification of an…
A hybrid parameterization of a quasiparticle equation of state is proposed, with a critical point implemented phenomenologically. On the one hand, a quasiparticle model with finite chemical potential is employed for the quark-gluon plasma…
The two-dimensional one-component plasma (OCP) is a model of electrically charged particles which are embedded in a uniform background of the opposite charge, and interact through a logarithmic potential. More than 30 years ago, Jancovici,…
Gibbs statistical mechanics is derived for the Hamiltonian system coupling self-consistently a wave to N particles. This identifies Landau damping with a regime where a second order phase transition occurs. For nonequilibrium initial data…
Some uncertainties are discussed on the high-temperature phase boundaries and critical point parameters for gas-liquid phase transition in silica (SiO2). The thermal and caloric phase diagrams are compared and examined as being predicted by…
