Extension of the primitive model by hydration shells and its impact on the reversible heat production during the buildup of the electric double layer.

Recently, the reversible heat production during the electric double layer (EDL) buildup in a sodium chloride solution was measured experimentally [Janssen et al., Phys. Rev.

Derivation of an exact, nonequilibrium framework for nucleation: Nucleation is a priori neither diffusive nor Markovian.

We discuss the structure of the equation of motion that governs nucleation processes at first order phase transitions. From the underlying microscopic dynamics of a nucleating system, we derive by means of a nonequilibrium projection operator formalism the equation of motion for the size distribution of the nuclei. The equation is exact, i.

Marginally compact fractal trees with semiflexibility.

We study marginally compact macromolecular trees that are created by means of two different fractal generators. In doing so, we assume Gaussian statistics for the vectors connecting nodes of the trees. Moreover, we introduce bond-bond correlations that make the trees locally semiflexible.
