Heat capacity of matter is considered to be its most important property because it holds information about system's degrees of freedom as well as the regime in which the system operates, classical or quantum. Heat capacity is well…
Motion in the atmosphere or mantle convection are two among phenomena of natural convection induced by internal heat sources. They bifurcate from the conduction state as a result of its loss of stability. In spite of their importance, due…
The linearized Debye-H\"uckel theory for liquid state is shown to provide thermodynamically consistent virial and energy routes for any potential and for any dimensionality. The importance of this result for bounded potentials is discussed.
We observe thermal motions of ions, and molecules in water through light extinction, at the individual particle level. The motions appear as time dependent intensity variations, characterized through their averaged spectra. Theoretical…
In contrast to the gaseous and the solid states, the liquid state does not have a simple model that could be developed into a quantitative theory. A central issue in the understanding of liquids is to estimate the energy state of liquids.…

Ionic conductivity in solid electrolytes is commonly expected to exhibit Arrhenius dependence on temperature, determined by a well-defined activation energy. Consequently, a standard approach involves calculating this energy using…
