A microscopic approach to nonlinear Reaction-Diffusion: the case of morphogen gradient formation
Jean Pierre Boon, James F. Lutsko, Christopher Lutsko
We develop a microscopic theory for reaction-difusion (R-D) processes based on a generalization of Einstein's master equation with a reactive term and we show how the mean field fo…
A dynamical theory of nucleation for colloids and macromolecules
James F. Lutsko
A general theory of nucleation for colloids and macromolecules in solution is formulated within the context of fluctuating hydrodynamics. A formalism for the determination of nucle…
Questioning the validity of non-extensive thermodynamics for classical Hamiltonian systems
J. F. Lutsko, J. P. Boon
We examine the non-extensive approach to the statistical mechanics of Hamiltonian systems with where is the classical kinetic energy. Our analysis starts from the basic…
A dynamical theory of homogeneous nucleation for colloids and macromolecules
James F. Lutsko
Homogeneous nucleation is formulated within the context of fluctuating hydrodynamics. It is shown that for a colloidal or macromolecular system in the strong damping limit the most…
On the role of metastable intermediate states in the homogeneous nucleation of solids from solution
James F. Lutsko
The role of metastable liquid phases in vapor-crystal nucleation is studied using Density Functional Theory(DFT). The model gives a semi-quantitatively accurate description of both…
Density Functional Theory of Inhomogeneous Liquids IV. Squared-gradient approximation and Classical Nucleation Theory
James F. Lutsko
The Squared-Gradient approximation to the Modified-Core Van der Waals density functional theory model is developed. A simple, explicit expression for the SGA coefficient involving…
