Journal ArticleDOI
Free energy, energy, and entropy of swelling in Cs–, Na–, and Sr–montmorillonite clays
Heather D. Whitley,David Smith +1 more
TL;DR: The Monte Carlo method is used to characterize the free energy, energy, and entropy of clay mineral swelling, revealing an overall energetic driving force for the swelling phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of dense plasmas: The Cimarron Project
Frank Graziani,Victor S. Batista,Lorin X. Benedict,John I. Castor,Hui Chen,Sophia Chen,Chris Fichtl,James N. Glosli,Paul E. Grabowski,Alexander Graf,Stefan P. Hau-Riege,A. U. Hazi,Saad A.

Surh,Jon C. Weisheit,Heather D. Whitley +25 more
TL;DR: The Cimarron project as discussed by the authors developed a massively parallel molecular dynamics (MD) code for dense plasmas, which is used to simulate atomic, radiative, and nuclear processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular simulations of the pressure, temperature, and chemical potential dependencies of clay swelling.
TL;DR: The temperature dependence and pressure dependence of clay swelling are shown to be directly related to the composite system entropy and volume change, respectively, that accompany swelling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
A measurement of the equation of state of carbon envelopes of white dwarfs
Andrea Kritcher,Damian Swift,Tilo Döppner,Benjamin Bachmann,Lorin X. Benedict,Gilbert Collins,Jonathan L. DuBois,Fred Elsner,Gilles Fontaine,Jim Gaffney,Sebastien Hamel,Amy Lazicki,W. R.

Correa,Heather D. Whitley,Roger Falcone,Siegfried Glenzer +29 more
TL;DR: Researchers have measured the equation of state of hydrocarbon in a high-density regime, which is necessary for accurate modelling of the oscillations of white dwarf stars and predicts an increase in compressibility due to ionization of the inner-core orbitals of carbon.
