Approach to equilibrium for a particle interacting with a harmonic thermal bath
Federico Bonetto, Alberto Mario Maiocchi
We study the long time evolution of the position-position correlation function for a harmonic oscillator (the {\it probe}) interacting via a coupling with a larg…
Classical infrared spectra of ionic crystals and their relevance for statistical mechanics
Andrea Carati, Luigi Galgani, Alberto Maiocchi +2
It was recently shown that the experimental infrared spectra of ionic crystals at room temperature are very well reproduced by classical realistic models, and here new results are…
The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam system as a model for glasses
Andrea Carati, Alberto Maiocchi, Luigi Galgani +1
We show that the standard Fermi--Pasta--Ulam system, with a suitable choice for the interparticle potential, constitutes a model for glasses, and indeed an extremely simple and man…
Statistical Thermodynamics for metaequilibrium or metastable states
A. Carati, A. Maiocchi, L. Galgani
We show how statistical thermodynamics can be formulated in situations in which thermodynamics applies, while equilibrium statistical mechanics does not. A typical case is, in the…
Transition to chaos in magnetized, weakly coupled plasmas
Andrea Carati, Francesco Benfenati, Alberto Maiocchi +2
We report the results of numerical simulations for a model of a one component plasma (a system of N point electrons with mutual Coulomb interactions) in a uniform stationary magnet…
Density limit in a first principles model of a magnetized plasma in the Debye--Hückel approximation
A. Carati, M. Zuin, A. Maiocchi +3
A crucial problem concerning a large variety of fusion devices is that the confinement due to an external magnetic field is lost above a critical density, while a widely accepted f…
