Open AccessGrowth of bubbles in liquid
Evolution of a gas injected in a liquid is analyzed using the example of the behavior of oxygen molecules in water in which bubbles of gas molecules grow slowly by attachment of gas molecules to bubbles, the b...

Ions in liquid metal clusters
From the results of computer simulations, especially of 13-atom metal clusters by molecular dynamics, we derive a theory of the solid–liquid phase transition in metal clusters that connects to the jellium mode...

The Phase Rule: Beyond Myopia to Understanding
The Gibbs phase rule relating the number of degrees of freedom f of a system to the number of components c and the number of coexisting phases p is a central, universally used relation, expressed by what is proba...

Energy landscapes: topographies, interparticle forces and dynamics, and how they are related
Many-body systems exhibit dynamic behavior ranging between two extremes that can be characterized as structure-seeking and glass-forming, when allowed to cool to a solid structure from a melt or high-energy ra...

Hydration Profiles of Amyloidogenic Molecular Structures
Hydration shells of normal proteins display regions of highly structured water as well as patches of less structured bulk-like water. Recent studies suggest that isomers with larger surface densities of patche...

Finite-Time Thermodynamics
Traditional thermodynamics evolved from Carnot’s introduction of the concept of the ideal reversible process, a process that would proceed infi- nitely slowly. Precisely because of that constraint, such a proc...

Phases, Phase Changes, and the Thermodynamics of Small Systems
The thermodynamics of small systems seems strange, even bizarre, at first encounter, especially if one’s thinking is locked to the concepts traditionally presented in texts and courses on thermodynamics of con...
