We study through MD simulations the correlation matrix of the discrete transverse momentum density field in real space for an unconfined Lennard-Jones fluid at equilibrium. Mori theory predicts this correlation under the Markovian approximation from the knowledge of the non-local shear viscosity matrix, which is given in terms of a Green-Kubo formula. However, the running Green-Kubo integral for the non-local shear viscosity does not have a plateau. By using a recently proposed correction for the Green-Kubo formula that eliminates the plateau problem [Español et al., Phys. Rev. E 99, 022126 (2019)], we unambiguously obtain the actual non-local shear viscosity. The resulting Markovian equation, being local in time, is not valid for very short times. We observe that the Markovian equation with non-local viscosity gives excellent predictions for the correlation matrix from a time at which the correlation is around 80% of its initial value. A local in space approximation for the viscosity gives accurate results only after the correlation has decayed to 40% of its initial value.

Thermal Energy Transport through Nonbonded Native Contacts in Protein.

Within the protein interior, where we observe various types of interactions, nonuniform flow of thermal energy occurs along the polypeptide chain and through nonbonded native contacts, leading to inhomogeneous transport efficiencies from one site to another. The folded native protein serves not merely as thermal transfer medium but, more importantly, as sophisticated molecular nanomachines in cells. Therefore, we are particularly interested in what sort of "communication" is mediated through native contacts in the folded proteins and how such features are quantitatively depicted in terms of local transport coefficients of heat currents.

Nonequilibrium states in soft condensed matter require a systematic approach to characterize and model materials, enhancing predictability and applications. Among the tools, X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) provides exceptional temporal and spatial resolution to extract dynamic insight into the properties of the material. However, existing models might overlook intricate details.

In this study, we performed a numerical investigation of the thermophysical properties of liquid (U, Zr) mixtures, which are particularly relevant in the context of hypothetical nuclear accidents and the formation of in-vessel coriums. To do so, atomistic simulations leveraging classical molecular dynamics and an interatomic potential developed for solid (U, Zr) structures are performed. Our methodology is first validated by comparing the predictions of our model for the melting temperature and the structure factors to experimental, phase diagram, and ab initio data.

A microscopic formula for the viscosity of liquids and solids is derived rigorously from a first-principles (microscopically reversible) Hamiltonian for particle-bath atomistic motion. The derivation is done within the framework of nonaffine linear response theory. This formula may lead to a valid alternative to the Green-Kubo approach to describe the viscosity of condensed matter systems from molecular simulations without having to fit long-time tails.

An analytical expression for the diffusion coefficient D of a free Brownian particle with velocity-dependent damping γ(v) is derived from the Green-Kubo formula. A special case of damping that decreases monotonically with velocity is considered. At high temperature T, the diffusion coefficient is found to exhibit two scaling types: (i) for a power-law decrease of damping with the particle's kinetic energy, γ(v)∝1/v^{2α}, it scales as D∝T^{α+1}; (ii) for a Gaussian function γ(v), it diverges at temperatures above a critical value T_{c} and behaves as D∝1/sqrt[T_{c}-T] at T slightly below T_{c}.
