Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations are performed to predict the structural and thermodynamic properties of liquid krypton using a potential energy function based on the two-body potential of Aziz and Slaman plus the triple-dipole Axilrod-Teller (AT) potential. By varying the strength of the AT potential we study the influence of three-body contribution beyond the triple-dipole dispersion. It is seen that the AT potential gives an overall good description of liquid Kr, though other contributions such as higher order three-body dispersion and exchange terms cannot be ignored.

Thermodynamics of quantum systems out-of-equilibrium is very important for the progress of quantum technologies, however, the effects of many body interactions and their interplay with temperature, different drives and dynamical regimes is still larg
ely unknown. Here we present a systematic study of these interplays: we consider a variety of interaction (from non-interacting to strongly correlated) and dynamical (from sudden quench to quasi-adiabatic) regimes, and draw some general conclusions in relation to work extraction and entropy production. As treatment of many-body interacting systems is highly challenging, we introduce a simple approximation which includes, for the average quantum work, many-body interactions only via the initial state, while the dynamics is fully non-interacting. We demonstrate that this simple approximation is surprisingly good for estimating both the average quantum work and the related entropy variation, even when many-body correlations are significant.
A large class of mesoscopic or macroscopic flocking theories are coarse-grained from microscopic models that feature binary interactions as the chief aligning mechanism. However while such theories seemingly predict the existence of polar order with
just binary interactions, actomyosin motility assay experiments show that binary interactions are insufficient to obtain polar order, especially at high densities. To resolve this paradox, here we introduce a solvable one-dimensional flocking model and derive its stochastic hydrodynamics. We show that two-body interactions are insufficient to generate polar order unless the noise is non-Gaussian. We show that noisy three-body interactions in the microscopic theory allow us to capture all essential dynamical features of the flocking transition, in systems that achieve orientational order above a critical density.
The effect of excluded volume interactions on the structure of a polymer in shear flow is investigated by Brownian Dynamics simulations for chains with size $30leq Nleq 300$. The main results concern the structure factor $S({bf q})$ of chains of N=30
0 Kuhn segments, observed at a reduced shear rate $beta=dot{gamma}tau=3.2$, where $dot{gamma}$ is the bare shear rate and $tau$ is the longest relaxation time of the chain. At low q, where anisotropic global deformation is probed, the chain form factor is shown to match the form factor of the continuous Rouse model under shear at the same reduced shear rate, computed here for the first time in a wide range of wave vectors. At high q, the chain structure factor evolves towards the isotropic equilibrium power law $q^{-1/ u}$ typical of self-avoiding walk statistics. The matching between excluded volume and ideal chains at small q, and the excluded volume power law behavior at large q are observed for ${bf q}$ orthogonal to the main elongation axis but not yet for ${bf q}$ along the elongation direction itself, as a result of interferences with finite extensibility effects. Our simulations support the existence of anisotropic shear blobs for polymers in good solvent under shear flow for $beta>1$ provided chains are sufficiently long.
Loops are abundant in native RNA structures and proliferate close to the unfolding transition. By including a statistical weight ~ l^{-c} for loops of length l in the recursion relation for the partition function, we show that the calculated heat cap
acity depends sensitively on the presence and value of the exponent c, even of short t-RNA. For homo-RNA we analytically calculate the critical temperature and critical exponents which exhibit a non-universal dependence on c.
The Quantizer problem is a tessellation optimisation problem where point configurations are identified such that the Voronoi cells minimise the second moment of the volume distribution. While the ground state (optimal state) in 3D is almost certainly
the body-centered cubic lattice, disordered and effectively hyperuniform states with energies very close to the ground state exist that result as stable states in an evolution through the geometric Lloyds algorithm [Klatt et al. Nat. Commun., 10, 811 (2019)]. When considered as a statistical mechanics problem at finite temperature, the same system has been termed the Voronoi Liquid by [Ruscher et al. EPL 112, 66003 (2015)]. Here we investigate the cooling behaviour of the Voronoi liquid with a particular view to the stability of the effectively hyperuniform disordered state. As a confirmation of the results by Ruscher et al., we observe, by both molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations, that upon slow quasi-static equilibrium cooling, the Voronoi liquid crystallises from a disordered configuration into the body-centered cubic configuration. By contrast, upon sufficiently fast non-equilibrium cooling (and not just in the limit of a maximally fast quench) the Voronoi liquid adopts similar states as the effectively hyperuniform inherent structures identified by Klatt et al. and prevents the ordering transition into a BCC ordered structure. This result is in line with the geometric intuition that the geometric Lloyds algorithm corresponds to a type of fast quench.
