Characterizing potentials by a generalized Boltzmann factor.

چکیده
Based on the concept of a nonequilibrium steady state, we present a method to experimentally determine energy landscapes acting on colloidal systems. By measuring the stationary probability distribution and the current in the system, we explore potential landscapes with barriers up to several hundred k_BT. As an illustration, we use this approach to measure the effective diffusion coefficient of a colloidal particle moving in a tilted potential.

Exact calculation of the linear term in the density expansion of the dynamic structure factor of a dilute gas.
We evaluate the linear term in the density expansion of the dynamic structure factor for a classical gas using a generalized Enskog theory developed by one of the authors, which enables us to describe the dynamics at small time and length scales where the use of the Boltzmann equation is severely limited. Agreement of the theory with experiment and simulation is very good. We find that the line...
متن کاملEfficient Feature Learning Using Perturb-and-MAP
Perturb-and-MAP [1] is a technique for efficiently drawing approximate samples from discrete probabilistic graphical models. These samples are useful for both characterizing the uncertainty in the model, as well as learning its parameters. In this work, we show that this same technique is effective at learning features from images using graphical models with complex dependencies between variabl...
متن کاملA generalized Poisson and Poisson-Boltzmann solver for electrostatic environments.
The computational study of chemical reactions in complex, wet environments is critical for applications in many fields. It is often essential to study chemical reactions in the presence of applied electrochemical potentials, taking into account the non-trivial electrostatic screening coming from the solvent and the electrolytes. As a consequence, the electrostatic potential has to be found by s...
متن کاملAutoconvolution equations and generalized Mittag-Leffler functions
This article is devoted to study of the autoconvolution equations and generalized Mittag-Leffler functions. These types of equations are given in terms of the Laplace transform convolution of a function with itself. We state new classes of the autoconvolution equations of the first kind and show that the generalized Mittag-Leffler functions are solutions of these types of equations. In view of ...
متن کاملExtensions to Study Electrochemical Interfaces - A Contribution to the Theory of Ions
In the present study an alternative model allows the extension of the Debye-Hückel Theory (DHT) considering time dependence explicitly. From the Electro-Quasistatic approach (EQS) done in earlier studies time dependent potentials are suitable to describe several phenomena especially conducting media as well as the behaviour of charged particles in arbitrary solutions acting as electrolytes. Thi...
