Scaling Laws and Paradoxical Metastable States in Nanofilament Entropic Separation
Jose M. G. Vilar, J. Miguel Rubi, Leonor Saiz
Entropic forces play a fundamental role in nanoscale phenomena, from colloidal self-assembly to biomolecular disaggregation. Here, we develop an exact analytical theory and find ge…
System-size scaling of Boltzmann and alternate Gibbs entropies
Jose M. G. Vilar, J. Miguel Rubi
It has recurrently been proposed that the Boltzmann textbook definition of entropy in terms of the number of microstates with energy should be replaced…
Thermal noise suppression: how much does it cost?
Giovanni Volpe, Jan Wehr, Dmitri Petrov +1
In order to stabilize the behavior of noisy systems, confining it around a desirable state, an effort is required to suppress the intrinsic noise. This noise suppression task entai…
Failure of the work-Hamiltonian connection for free energy calculations
Jose M. G. Vilar, J. Miguel Rubi
Extensions of statistical mechanics are routinely being used to infer free energies from the work performed over single-molecule nonequilibrium trajectories. A key element of this…
