Nonlocal Electrostatic Field Theory from Microscopic Description
Varazdat Stepanyan, Yevgeni Sh. Mamasakhlisov, Armen E. Allahverdyan
The study of electric fields in soft materials converges either to the study of point-like particles (local) in nonlinear theories or to the use of particles with finite sizes in n…

Negative thermodynamic pressure: no-go theorem and yes-go examples
Varazdat Stepanyan
Theory and experiment have long discussed negative thermodynamic pressure states, but their microscopic origins are unclear. I address this problem within the framework of quantum…

Sequence disorder-induced first order phase transition in confined polyelectrolytes
V. Stepanyan, A. Badasyan, V. Morozov +2
We consider a statistical mechanical model of a generic flexible polyelectrolyte, comprised of identically charged monomers with long range electrostatic interactions, and short-ra…
