The Gibbs paradox
Quanmin Guo
Molecular collision within an ideal gas originates from an intrinsic short-range repulsive interaction. The collision reduces the average accessible physical space for a single mol…
Redefining the Phase Space for Ideal Gas Systems Resolves the Gibbs Paradox
Quanmin Guo
For an ideal gas consisting N molecules within a volume V, the volume accessible to each molecule at an instantaneous time is V/N. The rest of the volume, (N-1)(V/N), is occupied b…
Interaction of nanoparticle properties and X-ray analytical techniques
Rainer Unterumsberger, Philipp Hönicke, Yves Kayse +5
In this work, Pt-Ti core-shell nanoparticles (NP) of 2 nm to 3 nm in size and 30000 u \pm 1500 u as specified single particle mass, deposited on flat silicon substrates by means of…
Negative Absolute Temperatures
Quanmin Guo
The concept of negative absolute temperature, introduced by Ramsey based on the study of a nuclear spin system by Purcell and Pound in 1951, has been subject to continued debate. A…
The Broken Engine of Szilard
Quanmin Guo
A crucial step in the operation of the Szilard engine is the isothermal expansion of a single particle system. This expansion, seemingly a natural consequence, is unable to proceed…
Critical assessment of the evidence for striped nanoparticles
Julian Stirling, Ioannis Lekkas, Adam Sweetman +5
There is now a significant body of literature in which it is claimed that stripes form in the ligand shell of suitably functionalised Au nanoparticles. This stripe morphology has b…
