چکیده

The glass transition is considered within two toys models, a mean field spin glass and a directed polymer in a correlated random potential. In the spin glass model there occurs a dynamical transition, where the the system condenses in a state of lower entropy. The extensive entropy loss, called complexity or information entropy, is calculated by analysis of the metastable (TAP) states. This yields a well behaved thermodynamics of the dynamical transition. The multitude of glassy states also implies an extensive difference between the internal energy fluctuations and the specific heat. In the directed polymer problem there occurs a thermodynamic phase transition in non-extensive terms of the free energy. At low temperature the polymer condenses in a set of highly degenerate metastable states.

Driving Force for Nucleation of Multi-Component Gas Hydrate

Based on driving force for crystallization of one-component gas hydrate, in this report an expression for the supersaturation for crystallization of multicomponent gas hydrate is derived. Expressions for the supersaturation are obtained in isothermal and isobaric regimes. The results obtained are applied to the crystallization of hydrates of mixtures of methane plus ethane and can apply to ...

Hysteresis, reentrance, and glassy dynamics in systems of self-propelled rods.

Nonequilibrium active matter made up of self-driven particles with short-range repulsive interactions is a useful minimal system to study active matter as the system exhibits collective motion and nonequilibrium order-disorder transitions. We studied high-aspect-ratio self-propelled rods over a wide range of packing fractions and driving to determine the nonequilibrium state diagram and dynamic...
