Two-Dimensional Phase Transitions in Classical Systems: 60 Years after the Hohenberg-Mermin-Wagner Theorem
Ruijian Zhu, Yanting Wang
In 1966, Hohenberg, Mermin and Wagner proved that long-wavelength fluctuations destabilize the long-range order of continuous symmetry in two-dimensional (2D) systems. Later in the…
Universal scaling laws for dynamical-thermal hysteresis
Yachao Sun, Xuesong Li, Yanting Wang +3
Dynamic hysteresis, the rate-dependent lagged response of materials to external fields, underpins applications from energy-efficient transformers to gas storage systems. A fundamen…
Phase transitions in voting simulated by an intelligent Ising model
Guanyu Xu, Jiahang Chen, Xin Zhou +1
Voting is an important social activity for expressing public opinions. By conceptually considering a group of voting agents to be intelligent matter, the impact of real-time inform…
Statistical mechanics of a nonequilibrium steady-state classical particle system driven by a constant external force
Jie Yao, Yanting Wang
A classical particle system coupled with a thermostat driven by an external constant force reaches its steady state when the ensemble-averaged drift velocity does not vary with tim…
A Brief Review of Continuous Models for Ionic Solutions: the Poisson-Boltzmann and Related Theories
Mao Su, Yanting Wang
The Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) theory is one of the most important theoretical models describing charged systems continuously. However, it suffers from neglecting ion correlations, whi…
One-dimensional steady transport by molecular dynamics simulation: Non-Boltzmann position distribution and non-Arrhenius dynamical behavior
Rui Shi, Yanting Wang
A non-equilibrium steady state can be characterized by a nonzero but stationary flux driven by a static external force. Under a weak external force, the drift velocity is difficult…
Diffusion-limited aggregation with polygon particles
Li Deng, Yanting Wang, Zhong-Can Ou-Yang
Diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) assumes that particles perform pure random walk at a finite temperature and aggregate when they come close enough and stick together. Although i…
Continuous Time Monte Carlo and Spatial Ordering in Driven Lattice Gases: Application to Driven Vortices in Periodic Superconducting Networks
Violeta Gotcheva, Yanting Wang, Albert T. J. Wang +1
We consider the two dimensional (2D) classical lattice Coulomb gas as a model for magnetic field induced vortices in 2D superconducting networks. Two different dynamical rules are…
Surface Driven Bulk Reconstruction of Gold Nanorods
Yanting Wang, S. Teitel, Christoph Dellago
Molecular dynamic simulations are used to study the heating of a gold nanorod of 2624 atoms. We show that roughening of surface {110} facets leads to a shape transformation and str…
