While the Ising model belongs to the realm of equilibrium statistical mechanics, the voter model is an example of a nonequilibrium system. We examine an opinion formation model, which is a mixture of Ising and voter agents with concentrations p and 1-p, respectively. Although in our model for p<1 a detailed balance is violated, on a complete graph the average magnetization in the stationary state for any p>0 is shown to satisfy the same equation as for the pure Ising model (p=1). Numerical simulations confirm such a behavior. Variance of magnetization and susceptibility in our model increase for decreasing p and diverge at the temperature at which magnetization vanishes. Simulations on a random graph also show that a small concentration of Ising agents is sufficient to induce a ferromagnetic ordering.

Time-domain signatures of distinct correlated insulators in a moiré superlattice.

Among expanding discoveries of quantum phases in moiré superlattices, correlated insulators stand out as both the most stable and most commonly observed. Despite the central importance of these states in moiré physics, little is known about their underlying nature. Here, we use pump-probe spectroscopy to show distinct time-domain signatures of correlated insulators at fillings of one (ν = -1) and two (ν = -2) holes per moiré unit cell in the angle-aligned WSe/WS system.

Rationale: Carbonate minerals are one of the most popular samples for an automated sample preparation system for CF-IRMS, such as GasBench II and iso FLOW, but no standardized analytical protocols exist. This study gives guidelines on optimal analytic conditions for carbon and oxygen isotope analysis of Ca-Mg carbonates when using the carbonate-phosphoric acid reaction method.
Methods: Calcite (CaCO-McMaster Carrara), dolomite (CaMg(CO)-MRSI Dolomite), and magnesite (MgCO-ROM Brazil Magnesite) with two grain size fractions (< 74 and 149-250 μm) were reacted with 103% (specific gravity of 1.

One of the hypothesized functions of biomolecular condensates is to act as chemical reactors, where chemical reactions can be modulated, i.e., accelerated or slowed down, while substrate molecules enter and products exit from the condensate.

While most thermostats in molecular dynamics are designed for equilibrium systems, their extension to non-equilibrium simulations has little theoretical justification. In the literature, an artifact referred to as "lane formation" was discovered; however, its cause remained unclear and was simply attributed to a constraint on velocity fluctuations or non-ergodicity in thermostats. In addition, global deterministic thermostatted dynamics was found to exhibit unceasing phase-space compression in steady states, incompatible with their expected stationary distributions and Gibbs entropy, which was mistakenly perceived as inescapable.

The phenomenon of electron transfer between cytochrome and amicyanin is a prevalent chemical process found in biological systems. In this study, we used MD simulation to explore the dynamic conformational changes and studied the possibilities of different electron transport pathways. Along with DFT computations, we employed the non-equilibrium green function for identifying electron transport channels within the system.
