Multiscale Thermodynamics: Energy, Entropy, and Symmetry from Atoms to Bulk Behavior
Ralph V. Chamberlin, Michael R. Clark, Vladimiro Mujica +1
Here we investigate how local properties of particles in a thermal bath influence the thermodynamics of the bath. We utilize nanothermodynamics, based on two postulates: that small…
An introduction to nanothermodynamics: Thermal equilibrium for heterogeneous and finite-sized systems
Ralph V. Chamberlin, Michael R. Clark, Vladimiro Mujica +1
The theory of small-system thermodynamics was originally developed to extend the laws of thermodynamics to length scales of nanometers. Here we review this "nanothermodynamics," an…
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…
