"Blue energy" from ion adsorption and electrode charging in sea- and river water

N. Boon, R. van Roij

A huge amount of entropy is produced at places where fresh water and seawater mix, for example at river mouths. This mixing process is a potentially enormous source of sustainable…

The Gibbs Paradox and the Distinguishability of Identical Particles

Marijn A. M. Versteegh, Dennis Dieks

Identical classical particles are distinguishable. This distinguishability affects the number of ways W a macrostate can be realized on the micro-level, and from the relation S = k…

Subdiffusion and intermittent dynamic fluctuations in the aging regime of concentrated hard spheres

Djamel El Masri, Ludovic Berthier, Luca Cipelletti

We study the nonequilibrium aging dynamics in a system of quasi-hard spheres at large density by means of computer simulations. We find that, after a sudden quench to large density…

Elastic Lattice Polymers

Marco Baiesi, Gerard T. Barkema, Enrico Carlon

We study a model of "elastic" lattice polymer in which a fixed number of monomers is hosted by a self-avoiding walk with fluctuating length . We show that the stored length…

Persistence in Practice

J. M. J. van Leeuwen, V. W. A. de Villeneuve, H. N. W. Lekkerkerker

We present a scheme to accurately calculate the persistence probabilities on sequences of heights above a level from the measured points of the height-height correlat…
