Beyond the Boltzmann factor for corrections to scaling in ferromagnetic materials and critical fluids
Ralph V. Chamberlin, Josh V. Vermaas, George H. Wolf
The Boltzmann factor comes from the linear change in entropy of an infinite heat bath during a local fluctuation; small systems have significant nonlinear terms. We present theoret…
Fluctuation-theory constraint for extensive entropy in Monte-Carlo simulations
Ralph V. Chamberlin, George H. Wolf
The entropy per particle in most Monte-Carlo simulations is size dependent due to correlated energy fluctuations. Guided by nanothermodynamics, we find a constraint for the Ising m…
Comment on the history of the stretched exponential function
Manuel Cardona, Ralph V. Chamberlin, Werner Marx
The original article of Rudolf Kohlrausch (1854) on stretched exponentials and their application to describe relaxation phenomena has been often misquoted in the literature after i…
A free-energy landscape picture and Landau theory for the dynamics of disordered materials
Mohammad Reza H. Javaheri, Ralph V. Chamberlin
Landau's theory of phase transitions is adapted to treat independently relaxing regions in complex systems using nanothermodynamics. The order parameter we use governs the thermal…
Monte-Carlo simulation of supercooled liquids using a self-consistent local temperature
Ralph V. Chamberlin, Kurt J. Stangel
We combine Creutz energy conservation with Kawasaki spin exchange to simulate the microcanonical dynamics of a system of interacting particles. Relaxation occurs via Glauber spin-f…
