Adsorption and Phase Transitions in Slit-like Pores with Differently Adsorbing Walls.
We study the adsorption of a lattice gas in a slit-like pore with different walls. The density profiles are evaluated in the framework of the mean-field approximation. We show that changes in the potential field exerted by one wall can lead to substantial modifications of the phase behavior of the fluids. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.
Computer Simulation of Condensed Phases in Complex Geometries
This monograph reviews the contemporary applications of computer simulation to such fields as statistical physics and condensed classical phases at molecular dimensions. The results obtained from models are compared to experimental data taken from complex real systems.
On the ontology of particle mass and energy in special relativity
Einstein claimed that the fundamental dynamical insight of special relativity was the equivalence of mass and energy. I disagree. Not only are mass and energy not equivalent (whatever exactly that means) but talk of such equivalence obscures the real dynamical insight of special relativity, which concerns the nature of 4-forces and interactions more generally. In this paper I present and defend a new ontology of special relativistic particle dynamics that makes this insight perspicuous and I explain how alleged cases of mass–energy conversion can be accommodated within that ontology.
