UNCONVENTIONAL STATISTICAL MECHANICS II: Comparison of Theory and Experiment and Further Illustrations

In the present follow-up article of a previous one [1] we illustrate the use of the Unconventional Statistical Mechanics described and discussed in the latter. This is done via the analysis, resorting to Renyi approach, of experimental results in the case of so-called " anomalous " luminescence in nanometric quantum wells in semiconductor heterostructures, and the so-called " anomalous " cyclic voltammetry in fractal-like electrodes in microbatteries. Also a purely theoretical analysis is done in the cases of an ideal gas and of radiation comparing the conventional and unconventional approaches. In all of these situations it is discussed which is the failure to satisfy the Criterion of Sufficiency thus requiring to resort to the unconventional approach, and what determines the value of the infoentropic index in each case, and its dependence on the system characteristics. Moreover, on the basis of the results we obtain, it is conjectured that the infoentropic index may satisfy what we call a law defining a " path to sufficiency " .
