Statistical mechanics of two hard disks in a rectangular box.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A system of two hard disks in a rectangular box is studied based on the exact partition function and equilibrium distribution functions of particles. Box-size dependence of some quantities of interest, such as pressure and the particle distribution functions, is investigated and in particular the negative compressibility of the van der Waals type and the corresponding phase transition are analyzed in detail. This system turns out to have rich structures that are related to the ergode-nonergode transitions in this system.

Finite bath fluctuation theorem.
We demonstrate that a finite bath fluctuation theorem of the Crooks type holds for systems that have been thermalized via weakly coupling them to a bath with energy independent finite specific heat. We show that this theorem reduces to the known canonical and microcanonical fluctuation theorems in the two respective limiting cases of infinite and vanishing specific heat of the bath. The result ...
متن کاملArching in tapped deposits of hard disks.
We simulate the tapping of a bed of hard disks in a rectangular box by using a pseudodynamic algorithm. In these simulations, arches are unambiguously defined and we can analyze their properties as a function of the tapping amplitude. We find that an order-disorder transition occurs within a narrow range of tapping amplitudes as has been seen by others. Arches are always present in the system a...
متن کاملPrecision Closed-form Solution for Out-of-plane Vibration of Rectangular Plates via Trigonometric Shear Deformation Theory
In this study, the new refine trigonometric shear deformation plate theory is used to study the out-of-plane vibration of the rectangular isotropic plates with different boundary conditions. The novelty of the research is that the analytical precision closed-form solution is developed without any use of approximation for a combination of six different boundary conditions; specifically, two oppo...
متن کاملLong-range order in a hard disk model in statistical mechanics
We model two-dimensional crystals by a configuration space in which every admissible configuration is a hard disk configuration and a perturbed version of some triangular lattice with side length one. In this model we show that, under the uniform distribution, expected configurations in a given box are arbitrarily close to some triangular lattice whenever the particle density is chosen sufficie...
متن کاملA Computational Topology Approach to Hard Spheres in a Box
As an attempt to better understand the physical properties of atoms and how they interact together on a quantum level, physicists have looked toward models based upon hard spheres for insight. Similar in spirit to the underpinnings of the Boltzmann model, the hard spheres model sets a foundation upon which to frame this topic and begin to tackle interesting problems. In order to simplify matter...
