Despite decades of intense study, the mechanisms underlying the extraordinary dynamics of supercooled liquids as they approach the glass transition remain, at best, mis-characterized, and at worst, misunderstood. A long standing endeavor is…
The apparent thermalization of the particles produced in hadronic collisions can be obtained by quantum entanglement of the partons of the initial state once a fast hard collision is produced. The scale of the hard collision is related to…
The competition between kinetic energy and Coulomb interactions in electronic systems can lead to complex many-body ground states with competing superconducting, charge density wave, and magnetic orders. Here we study the low temperature…
For a class of mean-field particle systems, we formulate a criterion in terms of the free energy that implies uniform bounds on the log-Sobolev constant of the associated Langevin dynamics. For certain double-well potentials with quadratic…
Heat generation from electronics increases with the advent of high-density integrated circuit technology. To come up with the heat generation, microscale cooling has been thought as a promising technology. Prediction of heat transfer rate…
Particle-antiparticle pairs are predicted by quantum field theory to appear as vacuum fluctuations. The model of the vacuum used here is postulated to have the following properties: To minimize the violation of conservation energy allowed…
Phase change materials (PCMs) hold considerable promise for thermal energy storage applications. However, designing a PCM system to meet specific performance presents a formidable challenge, given the intricate influence of multiple factors…
Novel physical mechanism is proposed for explanation of temperature-independent transition reactions in molecular systems. The mechanism becomes effective in the case of conformation transitions between quasi-isoenergetic molecular states.…
We use polydispersity in size as a control parameter to explore certain aspects of melting and freezing transitions in a system of Lennard-Jones spheres. Both analytical theory and computer simulations are employed to establish a…
A thermodynamic measure of the fragility of liquids has recently (Ito et al ref.1) been defined in terms of the temperature dependence of the excess entropy of liquid over crystal, scaled by the excess entropy at the glass transition…
Firstly, we calculate quantitatively decrease of entropy by the known formulas in the ordering phenomena and nucleation of thermodynamics of microstructure. They show again that a necessary condition of decrease of entropy in isolated…
The entanglement of two qubits, each defined as an effective two-level, spin 1/2 system, is investigated for the case that the qubits interact via a Heisenberg XY interaction and are subject to decoherence due to population relaxation and…
It is shown that the oscillation method to study liquid viscosity of [1-3,7-34], which is the basis of oscillation method to study crystallization and melting in multicomponent system, is based on incorrect consideration of one dimensional…
The melting of ultrathin lubricant film is studied by friction between atomically flat surfaces. The fluctuations of lubricant temperature are taken into account defined by Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. The phase diagrams and portraits are…
A simple criterion for melting of two-dimensional crystals with soft long-ranged interactions is proposed. It states that the ratio of the transverse sound velocity of an ideal crystalline lattice to the thermal velocity is a…
Melting and solidification processes, intertwined with convective flows, play a fundamental role in geophysical contexts. One of these processes is the formation of melt ponds on glaciers, ice shelves, and sea ice. It is driven by solar…
The Lorenz ratio serves as a measure to compare thermal and electric conductivities of metals. Recent experiments observed small Lorenz ratios in the compensated metal WP$_2$, indicating that charge flow is strongly favored over heat…
The electronic thermoelectric coefficients are analyzed in the vicinity of one and two Anderson localization thresholds in three dimensions. For a single mobility edge, we correct and extend previous studies, and find universal approximants…
A melting transition for a system of hard spheres interacting by a repulsive Yukawa potential of DLVO form is studied. To find the location of the phase boundary, we propose a simple theory to calculate the free energies for the coexisting…
