Isomorphs are lines in the density-temperature plane of certain "strongly correlating" or "Roskilde simple" liquids where two-point structure and dynamics have been shown to be close to identical up to a scale transformation. Here we consider such a liquid, a Lennard-Jones glass former, and investigate the behavior along isomorphs of higher-order structural and dynamical correlations. We then c...

Let F be a finite group with a Sylow 2-subgroup S that is normal and abelian. Using hyperelementary induction and cartesian squares, we prove that Cappell’s unitary nilpotent groups UNil∗(Z[F ];Z[F ],Z[F ]) have an induced isomorphism to the quotient of UNil∗(Z[S];Z[S],Z[S]) by the action of the group F/S. In particular, any finite group F of odd order has the same UNil-groups as the trivial gr...

A molecular dynamics simulation of vapor phase nucleation has been performed with 40,000 Lennard-Jones particles for the target gas and 0-160,000 particles for the carrier gas. Three carrier gas models are adopted, including a soft-core model, a Lennard-Jones model, and a modified Lennard-Jones model in which the attractive interaction can be adjusted. The effect of the carrier-gas pressure is ...

We improve the best known lower bounds on the distance between two points of a Morse cluster in R, with ρ ∈ [4.967, 15]. Our method is a generalization of the one applied to the Lennard-Jones potential in [2], and it also leads to improvements of lower bounds for the energy of a Morse cluster. Some of the numerical results have been announced in [1].

The analogue of the hydrophobic hydration is explored for Lennard-Jones solutions. The free energy of solvation and its temperature derivatives, both in the constant-pressure process and in the constant-volume process, are obtained numerically for a variety of the size and energy parameters for the solute-solvent Lennard-Jones potential. We identify in the parameter space a region in which the ...

We have designed several schemes to reduce the number of parameters in the problem of minimizing the total energy of Lennard Jones clusters We will discuss our schemes development in three dimensions The value of our work lies in the simplicity with which it provides a new approach to problems involving huge Lennard Jones clusters
