We discuss a covariant relativistic Boltzmann equation which describes the evolution of a system of particles in spacetime evolving with a universal invariant parameter τ . The observed time of Einstein and Maxwell, in the presence of interaction, is not necessarily a monotonic function of τ . If t ( τ ) increases with τ , the worldline may be associated with a normal particle, but if it is decreasing in τ , it is observed in the laboratory as an antiparticle. This paper discusses the implications for entropy evolution in this relativistic framework. It is shown that if an ensemble of particles and antiparticles, converge in a region of pair annihilation, the entropy of the antiparticle beam may decreaase in time.

In this work, we have studied the thermodynamic properties of the Van der Waals black hole in the framework of the relativistic Kaniadakis entropy. We have shown that the black hole properties, such as the mass and temperature, differ from those obtained by using the the Boltzmann-Gibbs approach. Moreover, the deformation κ-parameter changes the behavior of the Gibbs free energy via introduced thermodynamic instabilities, whereas the emission rate is influenced by κ only at low frequencies.

The shear viscosity is a fundamental transport property of matter. Here we derive a general theory of the viscosity of gases based on the relativistic Langevin equation (deduced from a relativistic Lagrangian) and nonaffine linear response theory. The proposed relativistic theory is able to recover the viscosity of nonrelativistic classical gases, with all its key dependencies on mass, temperature, particle diameter, and Boltzmann constant, in the limit of Lorentz factor γ=1.

Context: Nowadays, Perovskite materials with diverse compositions and structures have garnered significant attention for their potential applications across various industrial and technological fields. Here, we investigated the structural, electronic, optical, thermodynamic, thermoelectric, and magnetic properties of perovskite PrFeO using density functional theory and Monte Carlo simulations. The optimization results demonstrate that the ferromagnetic phase is more stable than the antiferromagnetic phase.

The first step in comprehending the properties of Au clusters is understanding the lowest energy structure at low and high temperatures. Functional materials operate at finite temperatures; however, energy computations employing density functional theory (DFT) methodology are typically carried out at zero temperature, leaving many properties unexplored. This study explored the potential and free energy surface of the neutral Au nanocluster at a finite temperature, employing a genetic algorithm coupled with DFT and nanothermodynamics.

The axiomatic structure of the κ-statistcal theory is proven. In addition to the first three standard Khinchin-Shannon axioms of continuity, maximality, and expansibility, two further axioms are identified, namely the self-duality axiom and the scaling axiom. It is shown that both the κ-entropy and its special limiting case, the classical Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy, follow unambiguously from the above new set of five axioms.
