Biased ensembles of pulsating active matter
William D. Piñeros, Étienne Fodor
We discover unexpected connections between packing configurations and rare fluctuations in dense systems of active particles subject to pulsation of size. Using large deviation the…
Methods and Conversations in (Post)Modern Thermodynamics
Francesco Avanzini, Massimo Bilancioni, Vasco Cavina +19
Lecture notes after the doctoral school (Post)Modern Thermodynamics held at the University of Luxembourg, December 2022, 5-7, covering and advancing continuous-time Markov chains,…
Spontaneous Chiral Symmetry Breaking in a Random Driven Chemical System
William D. Piñeros, Tsvi Tlusty
Living systems have evolved to efficiently consume available energy sources using an elaborate circuitry of chemical reactions which, puzzlingly, bear a strict restriction to asymm…
Inverse Design of Non-Equilibrium Steady-States: A Large Deviation Approach
William D. Piñeros, Tsvi Tlusty
The design of small scale non-equilibrium steady states (NESS) is a challenging, open ended question. While similar equilibrium problems are tractable using standard thermodynamics…
Kinetic Proofreading and the Limits of Thermodynamic Uncertainty
William D. Piñeros, Tsvi Tlusty
To mitigate errors induced by the cell's heterogeneous noisy environment, its main information channels and production networks utilize the kinetic proofreading (KPR) mechanism. He…
Unsupervised machine learning for detection of phase transitions in off-lattice systems II. Applications
R. B. Jadrich, B. A. Lindquist, W. D. Pineros +2
We outline how principal component analysis (PCA) can be applied to particle configuration data to detect a variety of phase transitions in off-lattice systems, both in and out of…
Inverse Design of Multicomponent Assemblies
William D. Piñeros, Beth A. Lindquist, Ryan B. Jadrich +1
Inverse design can be a useful strategy for discovering interactions that drive particles to spontaneously self-assemble into a desired structure. Here, we extend an inverse design…
Design of two-dimensional particle assemblies using isotropic pair interactions with an attractive well
William D. Piñeros, Ryan B. Jadrich, Thomas M. Truskett
Using ground-state and relative-entropy based inverse design strategies, isotropic interactions with an attractive well are determined to stabilize and promote as- sembly of partic…
Designing Pairwise Interactions that Stabilize Open Crystals: Truncated Square and Truncated Hexagonal Lattices
William D. Piñeros, Thomas M. Truskett
Using a recently introduced formulation of the ground-state inverse design problem for a targeted lattice [Piñeros et al., J. Chem. Phys. 144} 084502 (2016)], we discover purely re…
Designing convex repulsive pair potentials that favor assembly of kagome and snub square lattices
William D. Piñeros, Michael Baldea, Thomas M. Truskett
Building on a recently introduced inverse strategy, isotropic and convex repulsive pair potentials were designed that favor assembly of particles into kagome and equilateral snub s…
Breadth versus depth: Interactions that stabilize particle assemblies to changes in density or temperature
William D. Piñeros, Michael Baldea, Thomas M. Truskett
We use inverse methods of statistical mechanics to explore trade-offs associated with designing interactions to stabilize self-assembled structures against changes in density or te…
