Wetting and interfacial order at nematic free surfaces
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 1996-07-20)
We apply a density-functional theory to the free surface of a model liquid crystal, to investigate the orientational order at the nematic free surface of systems exhibiting orientational wetting at the isotropic liquid-vapour ...

A novel orientation-dependent potential model for prolate mesogens
(American Institute of Physics, 2005)
An intermolecular potential is introduced for the study of molecular mesogenic fluids. The model combines distinct features of the well-known Gay-Berne and Kihara potentials by incorporating dispersive interactions dependent ...

Expansion for the moments of a nonlinear stochastic model
(American Physical Society, 1996-10-14)
We present a procedure to systematically evaluate all the moments of the Fokker-Planck equation by expanding them in a power series in a given function of t. The expansion coefficients are easily determined in terms of ...

On the validity of linear hydrodynamics for low-density granular flows described by the Boltzmann equation
(European Physical Society, 1999)
The direct Monte Carlo simulation method is used to check the validity of the hydrodynamic description of a low-density granular flow in the linear region about the homogeneous cooling state. Good agreement is found between ...

Kinetic model for the hard-sphere fluid and solid
(American Physical Society, 1998)
The revised Enskog kinetic theory (RET) for a system of hard spheres provides an exceptionally broad description of mesoscopic and macroscopic dynamics, applicable for both fluid and solid phases, long and short wavelengths, ...

External-field effects on molecular electronic transitions in charge-transfer systems
(American Physical Society, 1998)
We investigate strong-external-field effects on optical transitions between electronic states of charge-transfer systems in condensed media. We will use as a model a two-level system coupled to a dissipative medium driven ...

High energy tail in the velocity distribution of a granular gas
(American Physical Society, 1999)
The Enskog-Boltzmann equation for a homogeneous freely evolving system of smooth hard disks colliding inelastically is solved by means of the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. The distribution function shows an exponential ...

Analysis of the Evans and Baranyai variational principle in dilute gases
(American Physical Society, 1993)
A variational principle for thermostated nonequilibrium steady states recently proposed by Evans and Baranyai [Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 2597 (1991)] is analyzed by means of a model kinetic equation for dilute gases. It is shown ...

Dynamics of single and multiple Zener transitions
(American Institute of Physics Publising LLC, 1992)
The probability of remaning in a given state is evaluated for a two-level system that can cross repeatedly and periodically as a function of a control parameter. The possibility of multiple Zener transitions between the ...

Hartree-Bose mean-field approximation for the interacting boson model (IBM-3)
(American Physical Society, 1998-02-01)
A Hartree-Bose mean-field approximation for the IBM-3 is presented. A Hartree-Bose transformation from spherical to deformed bosons with charge-dependent parameters is proposed which allows bosonic pair correlations and ...
