Can the jamming transition be described using equilibrium statistical mechanics?
When materials such as foams or emulsions are compressed, they display solid behaviour above the so-called ‘jamming’ transition. Because compression is done out of equilibrium in the absence of thermal fluctuations, jamming appears as a new kind of a nonequilibrium phase transition. In this proceedings paper, we suggest that tools from equilibrium statistical mechanics can in fact be used to de...
متن کاملEquilibrium Statistical Mechanics
Classical Statistical Mechanics studies properties of macroscopic aggregates of particles, atoms and molecules, based on the assumption that they are point masses subject to the laws of classical mechanics. Distinction between macroscopic and microscopic is evanescent and in fact the foundations of statistical mechanics have been laid on properties, proved or assumed, of few particles systems. ...
متن کاملNon equilibrium statistical mechanics
In part I of these lecture notes, I introduce the basic tools of non equilibrium statistical mechanics: linear response, Brownian motion, Langevin equation, (Pauli) master equation. Part II is devoted to a derivation of quantum master equations from the Schrödinger equation, and to some of their applications to quantum optics and to Brownian motion. Finally, in part III, I examine more recent d...
متن کاملCovariant Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics
A manifest covariant equilibrium statistical mechanics is constructed starting with a 8N dimensional extended phase space which is reduced to the 6N physical degrees of freedom using the Poincaré-invariant constrained Hamiltonian dynamics describing the micro-dynamics of the system. The reduction of the extended phase space is initiated forcing the particles on energy shell and fixing their ind...
متن کاملCan gas hydrate structures be described using classical simulations?
Quantum path-integral simulations of the hydrate solid structures have been performed using the recently proposed TIP4PQ/2005 model. By also performing classical simulations using this model, the impact of the nuclear quantum effects on the hydrates is highlighted; nuclear quantum effects significantly modify the structure, densities, and energies of the hydrates, leading to the conclusion that...
