Ising Models of Cooperativity in Muscle Contraction
Elaheh Saadat, Matthieu Caruel, Stefano Gherardini +6
Regulation of contraction in striated muscle is controlled by a dual mechanism involving both thin filaments containing actin and thick filaments containing myosin. The thin filame…
Free-energy REconstruction from Stable Clusters (FRESC): A new method to evaluate nucleation barriers from simulation
Adrian Llamas-Jaramillo, Ivan Latella, David Reguera
We present a simulation technique to evaluate the most important quantity for nucleation processes: the nucleation barrier, i.e. the free energy of formation of the critical cluste…
Lifetime of locally stable states near a phase transition in the Thirring model
Elaheh Saadat, Ivan Latella, Stefano Ruffo
We study the lifetime of locally stable states in the Thirring model, which describes a system of particles whose interactions are long-range. The model exhibits first-order phase…
Modified Thirring model beyond the excluded-volume approximation
Alessandro Campa, Lapo Casetti, Pierfrancesco Di Cintio +3
Long-range interacting systems may exhibit ensemble inequivalence and can possibly attain equilibrium states under completely open conditions, for which energy, volume and number o…
Monte Carlo simulations in the unconstrained ensemble
Ivan Latella, Alessandro Campa, Lapo Casetti +3
The unconstrained ensemble describes completely open systems whose control parameters are chemical potential, pressure, and temperature. For macroscopic systems with short-range in…
Phase transitions in the unconstrained ensemble
Alessandro Campa, Lapo Casetti, Ivan Latella +1
The unconstrained ensemble describes completely open systems in which energy, volume and number of particles fluctuate. Here we show that not only equilibrium states can exist in t…
