In this study, we investigate the relationship between persistence/antipersistence and time-irreversibility by using the Kullback-Leibler Divergence (KLD) in the directed Horizontal Visibility Graph applied to a new modified Langevin equation with persistence parameter d. A non-trivial relationship KLD(d) was found, characterized by a non-symmetric shape, which suggests that time-irreversibility increases with the degree of persistence or antipersistence. The analysis is applied to the population growth model, where the level of irreversibility may represent important features of the population dynamics, like its stability and ecosystem health.

In this study, we investigate the phase behavior and structural organization of colloidal particles in a two-dimensional (2D) system under isotropic harmonic confinement using overdamped Langevin dynamics simulations. We employ a modified mermaid potential, which introduces an additional short-distance term resulting in a null-force region, distinct from the conventional mermaid potential. This modification facilitates a richer exploration of self-assembled structures, revealing a variety of phases influenced by the interplay between confinement strength V0 and the interaction potential.

The unraveling of the hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity molecular signature of nanometric bidimensional confined systems represents a challenging task with repercussions in environmental transport processes. Swelling clay minerals represent an ideal model system, as hydrophobicity can be modified during material synthesis by substituting hydroxyls by fluorine in the structure, without additional surface treatment. This following work presents a combined approach, integrating experimental inelastic neutron scattering spectroscopy and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, with the objective of advancing our understanding of the role of surface hydroxylation/fluorination and the extent of confinement on water properties.

Nanoparticles (NPs) that are forcefully driven through a brush-decorated nanochannel form a nonequilibrium system with a rich physical behavior, including a dynamical phase transition between two modes of propagation that correspond to either separate clusters of NPs or a continuous flow channel. The peculiar properties of this system make it an ideal benchmark candidate for a comparison of three thermostat settings, the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), the Langevin (LGV) dynamics, and a modified LGV setup, denoted as LGV^{-}, in which the thermostatting is disabled in the direction of the driving force. We demonstrate that the choice of the thermostat has little influence on the conformations of NPs, and that, due to differences in the dissipation modes, notable differences arise in their dynamical properties, such as effective friction constants and average velocities.
