Maximum entropy distributions of wavefunctions at thermal equilibrium
Jacob T. Willson, Henrik J. Heelweg, Adam P. Willard
Statistical mechanics reveals that the properties of a macroscopic physical system emerge as an average over an ensemble of statistically independent microscopic subsystems, each o…
A directed walk in probability space that locates mean field solutions to spin models
Yizhi Shen, Adam P. Willard
Despite their formal simplicity, most lattice spin models cannot be easily solved, even under the simplifying assumptions of mean field theory. In this manuscript, we present a met…
Solvation at Aqueous Metal Electrodes
David T. Limmer, Adam P. Willard, Paul A. Madden +1
We present a study of the solvation properties of model aqueous electrode interfaces. The exposed electrodes we study strongly bind water and have closed packed crystalline surface…
Water at an electrochemical interface - a simulation study
Adam P. Willard, Stewart K. Reed, Paul A. Madden +1
The results of molecular dynamics simulations of the properties of water in an aqueous ionic solution close to an interface with a model metallic electrode are described. In the si…
Coarse Grained Modeling of The Interface Between Water and Heterogeneous Surfaces
Adam P. Willard, David Chandler
Using coarse grained models we investigate the behavior of water adjacent to an extended hydrophobic surface peppered with various fractions of hydrophilic patches of different siz…
The Role of Solvent Fluctuations in Hydrophobic Assembly
A. P. Willard, D. Chandler
We use a coarse grained solvent model to study the self assembly of two nano-scale hydrophobic particles in water. We show how solvent degrees of freedom are involved in the proces…
