Conceptual density functional theory.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the development of DFT as a tool for Calculating Atomic andMolecular Properties and its applications, as well as some of the fundamental and Computational aspects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contact angle measurement and contact angle interpretation

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the controversy with respect to measurement and interpretation of contact angles is due to the fact that some (or all) of the assumptions made in all energetic approaches are violated when contact angles are measured and processed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Holography, thermodynamics, and fluctuations of charged AdS black holes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the thermodynamic properties of Reissner-Nordstrom black holes in (n11)-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime and compared them to the physics of a class of n-dimensional field theories coupled to a background global current.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free energy calculation from steered molecular dynamics simulations using Jarzynski's equality

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied the second order cumulant expansion to free energy calculations from steered molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules, using the helix-coil transition of deca-alanine in vacuum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum thermodynamic cycles and quantum heat engines.

TL;DR: The role of Maxwell's demon is discussed and it is found that there is no violation of the second law, even in the existence of such a demon, when the demon is included correctly as part of the working substance of the heat engine.
