The Fermi-Dirac distribution as a model of a thermodynamically ideal liquid. Phase transition of the first kind for neutral gases (corresponding to nonpolar molecules)

Mathematical notes. 2017. Vol. 101. No. 1. P. 100–114.
Maslov V. P.

In this paper, we introduce the notions of enlarged number theory and of thermodynamically ideal liquid and calculate the temperature below which it appears. This temperature is T = 0.84Tc, where Tc is the critical temperature of a gas whose molecules are nonpolar. For such a gas, in a sufficiently wide neighborhood of the binodal, the isotherms of a gas and of a thermodynamically ideal liquid coincide with those of a van der Waals gas for the critical value of the compressibility factor Zc = 3/8. In this sense, for T ≤ 0.84Tc and the particular case Zc = 3/8, the developed theory is a generalization of the van der Waals model. A new phase transition of the second kind at the point of zero activity is described.

Kasapenko N., Orlova T., N. Kondratyuk, Journal of Chemical Physics 2025 Vol. 162 No. 15 Article 154901
Molecular dynamics methods have proven their applicability for the simulation of the structure and properties of liquid crystals. For the reproduction of phase transitions in liquid crystals, many authors have reparameterized the classical force fields. For the first time, we demonstrate that even a general-purpose force field, for example, General AMBER Force Field (GAFF), without ...

Partial proton ordering during phase transition in Friedel's salt
Glushak A., Smirnov G., Applied Clay Science 2023 Vol. 243 Article 107072
Friedel’s salt, also known as Cl-Hydrocalumite, (Ca2[Al(OH)6]⋅ Cl⋅2H2O), is one of the calcium aluminates phases (AFm phases). It can accommodate radioactive chlorine isotopes, serving as a potential material in radioactive waste applications. Earlier X-Ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments demonstrated the existence of the first-order phase transition between 303 K and 313 K. The ...

Formation of metastable aluminum silicide as intermediate stage of Al-Si alloy crystallization
Gordeev I., Kolotova L., Starikov S., Scripta Materialia 2022 Vol. 210 Article 114481
The mechanism of Al-Si alloy crystallization from an amorphous state is still unclear. Despite the absence of equilibrium compounds for this binary system, there are several experimental evidences confirming the formation of metastable silicide at annealing of amorphous Si mixed with Al. Classification of this metastable structure is a missing puzzle piece in the description ...

Optimized interatomic potential for study of structure and phase transitions in Si-Au and Si-Al systems
Starikov S., Gordeev I., Lysogorskiy Y. et al., Computational Materials Science 2020 Vol. 184 Article 109891
Metal-semiconductor nanostructures are key objects for multifunctional electronics and optical design. We report a new interatomic potential for atomistic simulation of a ternary Si-Au-Al system. The development procedure was based on the force-matching method that allowed us to create the potential without use of experimental data at the fitting. Extensive validation including elastic, thermophysical and defect properties demonstrates a ...

Structure and Phase Transition Features of Monoclinic and Tetragonal Phases in U–Mo Alloys
Kolotova L., Gordeev I., Crystals 2020 Vol. 10 P. 515
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we studied the structural properties of orthorhombic, monoclinic, and body-centered tetragonal (bct) phases of U–Mo alloys. A sequence of shear transformations between metastable phases takes place upon doping of uranium with molybdenum from pure alpha-U: orthorhombic alpha' -> monoclinic alpha'' -> bct gamma^0 -> body-centered cubic (bcc) with doubled lattice constant gamma^s ...

We studied structure and thermodynamic properties of cubic and tetragonal phases of pure uranium and U-Mo alloys using atomistic simulations: molecular dynamics and density functional theory. The main attention was paid to the metastable g0-phase that is formed in U-Mo alloys at low temperature. Structure of g0-phase is similar to body-centered tetragonal (bct) lattice with displacement of a ...

On a probabilistic derivation of the basic particle statistics (Bose-Einstein, Fermi-Dirac, canonical, grand-canonical, intermediate) and related distributions
Kolokoltsov V., Transactions of the Moscow Mathematical Society 2021 Vol. 82 No. 1 P. 93–104
Combining intuitive probabilistic assumptions with the basic laws of classical thermodynamics, using the latter to express probabilistic parameters in terms of the thermodynamic quantities, we get a simple unified derivation of the fundamental ensembles of statistical physics avoiding any limiting procedures, quantum hypothesis and even statistical entropy maximization. This point of view leads also to some related classes of ...

Is Modernity a Third Axial Age?
Bondarenko D. M., Baskin K., NETSOL: New Trends in Social and Liberal Sciences 2019 Vol. 4 No. 2 P. 1–23
In the book where he coined the term “Axial Age”, Karl Jaspers noted that human history included both “tranquil ages” and “ages of change”. This paper begins with the observation that this oscillation between stable and transformational periods encapsulates the pattern in complexity theory by which systems oscillate between relatively long “stable states” and shorter ...

Statistical Transition of Bose Gas to Fermi Gas
Maslov V. P., Mathematical notes 2018 Vol. 103 No. 6 P. 929–935
It is well known that the formula for the Fermi distribution is obtained from the formula for the Bose distribution if the argument of the polylogarithm, the activity a, the energy, and the number of particles change sign. The paper deals with the behavior of the Bose–Einstein distribution as a → 0; in particular, the neighborhood of the ...

New Insight into the Partition Theory of Integers Related to Problems of Thermodynamics and Mesoscopic Physics
Maslov V. P., Mathematical notes 2017 Vol. 102 No. 2 P. 234–251
It is shown in the paper that the number pN(M) of partitions of a positive integer M into N positive integer summands coincides with the Bose and Fermi distributions with logarithmic accuracy if one identifies M with energy and N with the number of particles. We use the Gentile statistics (a.k.a. parastatistics) to derive self-consistent algebraic equations that ...

The theory of tropical series, that we develop here, firstly appeared in the study of the growth of pluriharmonic functions. Motivated by waves in sandpile models we introduce a dynamic on the set of tropical series, and it is experimentally observed that this dynamic obeys a power law. So, this paper serves as a compilation of results ...

We study the asymptotic behavior of the number of paths of length N on several classes of infinite graphs with a single special vertex. This vertex can work as an ‘entropic trap’ for the path, i.e. under certain conditions the dominant part of long paths becomes localized in the vicinity of the special point instead ...
