Monte Carlo simulations of 2d hard core lattice gases
Heitor C. Marques Fernandes, Jeferson J. Arenzon, Yan Levin
Monte Carlo simulations are used to study lattice gases of particles with extended hard cores on a two dimensional square lattice. Exclusions of one and up to five nearest neighbor…
Superconducting pipes and levitating magnets
Yan Levin, Felipe B. Rizzato
Motivated by a beautiful demonstration of the Faraday's and Lenz's law in which a small neodymium magnet falls slowly through a conducting non-ferromagnetic tube, we consider the d…
Equation of state for hard square lattice gases
Heitor C. Marques Fernandes, Yan Levin, Jeferson J. Arenzon
A simple equation of state for a lattice gas of hard squares of side length is presented. Comparing to the Monte Carlo simulations, the new equation of state is found to be qui…
Electrostatics of ions inside the nanopores and trans-membrane channels
Yan Levin
A model of a finite cylindrical ion channel through a phospholipid membrane of width separating two electrolyte reservoirs is studied. Analytical solution of the Poisson equati…
Electromagnetic braking: a simple quantitative model
Yan Levin, Fernando L. da Silveira, Felipe B. Rizzato
A calculation is presented which quantitatively accounts for the terminal velocity of a cylindrical magnet falling through a long copper or aluminum pipe. The experiment and the th…
