Temporal reversibility of a fluid mixture under concentration gradient
O. Politano, Alejandro L. Garcia, F. Baras +1
A binary fluid mixture in contact with lateral particle reservoirs is considered. By imposing different particle concentrations in these reservoirs, the system can be maintained un…

Bridging classical and quantum interpretation of chemical state analysis by XPS/HAXPES to resolve short-range order in amorphous alumina films
Simon Gramatte, Xing Wang, Michael Alejandro Hernández Bertrán +8
Probing the local structure and chemistry of wide-bandgap amorphous oxide thin films remains challenging due to the limitations of lab-based spectroscopy. This work integrates X-ra…

Temporal reversibility of reactive systems out of equilibrium: Molecular dynamics simulation
O. Politano, Alejandro L. Garcia, F. Baras +1
The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy production in macroscopic systems is non-negative, reaching zero only at thermodynamic equilibrium. As a corollary, this implie…
