3DRISM Bridge Functional for the Aqueous Solutions of Carbon Nanomaterials

Abstract

In the paper a bridge functional for the closure relation of the three-dimensional reference interaction model (3DRISM) equations is proposed. The effectiveness of the bridge for the aqueous solutions of the carbon nanomaterials is tested. In the paper two classes of systems are investigated: (i) infinitely diluted aqueous solutions of the Lennard-Jones (LJ) spheres and (ii) infinitely diluted aqueous solution of the carbon nanotubes(CNT). The bridge functional is fitted to the molecular simulation data. It is shown that for all the investigated systems the bridge functional can be approximated by the exponential function which depends only on the solute/solvent size ratio. It is shown that by using the proposed bridge functional is possible (i) to predict accurately the position of the first peak of the water oxygen density distribution function (DDF) around the solute, (ii) to improve the accuracy of the predictions of the first peak's height of the water oxygen DDF around the solute (iii), to predict correctly the water hydrogen DDF behavior in the vicinity of the CNT.

Universal sampling of spin systems across quenched disorder

Statistical physics extracts macroscopic laws by averaging over the many microscopic degrees of freedom of a system. Disordered systems demand a second and far harder average, one over the quenched randomness itself. The classic analytical routes, the replica and cavity methods, become uncontrolled outside mean-field or tree-like limits, and conventional numerical algorithms like parallel tempering require expensive, independent equilibration for every disorder realization. In this work, we introduce a universal neural variational framework that amortizes inference across the disorder ensemble, eliminating both the need for per-instance Markov chain equilibration and the cost of retraining instance-specific variational ansatzes. Built on an encoder-decoder Transformer architecture, after training once, it produces an explicit approximation to the Boltzmann distribution given previously unseen disorder realizations without further optimization. We validate this framework on 2D Edwards-Anderson models, and apply it to the random-bond Ising model, successfully capturing the Binder cumulant crossings near the Nishimori multicritical point. These results shift the object of variational inference from the single instance to the disorder ensemble, opening a route to frustrated many-body systems where instance-by-instance computation is prohibitive.

Information-Theoretic Characterization of Macroscopic Chaos Emerging from the Chemical Master Equation

Open chemical reaction networks exhibit stochastic concentration dynamics at finite system sizes, whereas their macroscopic limit is governed by deterministic rate equations that can display chaos. In this Letter, we show theoretically that a rate of information loss constructed from two-time mutual information recovers the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy in the deterministic limit. We verify this result through numerical simulations of a Markov jump process for a three-species system involving seven reactions.

Orientational order on non-orientable domains

We study the statistical properties of passive and active many-body systems with orientational degrees of freedom on non-orientable domains. By rephrasing topological constraints as non-local symmetry relations on an orientable double-cover, we show that non-orientability eliminates global rotational soft modes without acting like an external field. In a passive XY model, this results in topological caging, where orientational fluctuations that exhibit conventional diffusive behavior on a torus saturate on a Klein bottle to a finite value that we compute exactly in the thermodynamic limit. In models of active self-propelled particles with orientational degrees of freedom, topological caging persists despite continuously changing interaction neighborhoods. In an active Ising spin model, non-orientability enforces the coexistence of ordered anti-parallel domains with vanishing global polar order, a state that is absent on orientable domains.
