We derive the exact formula for thermal-equilibrium spacing distribution of one-dimensional particle gas with repulsive potential V(r)=r^(-a) (a>0) depending on the distance r between the neighboring particles. The calculated distribution (for a=1) is successfully compared with the highway-traffic clearance distributions, which provides a detailed view of changes in microscopical structure of traffic sample depending on traffic density. In addition to that, the observed correspondence is a strong support of studies applying the equilibrium statistical physics to traffic modelling.

We investigate the evolution of a light impurity particle in a Lorentz gas where the background atoms are in thermal equilibrium. As in the standard Lorentz gas, we assume that the particle is negligibly light in comparison with the background atoms.
The thermal motion of atoms causes the average particle speed to grow. In the case of the hard-sphere particle-atom interaction, the temporal growth is ballistic, while generally it is sub-linear. For the particle-atom potential that diverges as r^{-lambda} in the small separation limit, the average particle speed grows as t^{lambda /(2(d-1)+ lambda)} in d dimensions. The particle displacement exhibits a universal growth, linear in time and the average (thermal) speed of the atoms. Surprisingly, the asymptotic growth is independent on the gas density and the particle-atom interaction. The velocity and position distributions approach universal scaling forms which are non-Gaussian. We determine the velocity distribution in arbitrary dimension and for arbitrary interaction exponent lambda. For the hard-sphere particle-atom interaction, we compute the position distribution and the joint velocity-position distribution.
We investigate the approach to stable and metastable equilibrium in Ising models using a cluster representation. The distribution of nucleation times is determined using the Metropolis algorithm and the corresponding $phi^{4}$ model using Langevin dy
namics. We find that the nucleation rate is suppressed at early times even after global variables such as the magnetization and energy have apparently reached their time independent values. The mean number of clusters whose size is comparable to the size of the nucleating droplet becomes time independent at about the same time that the nucleation rate reaches its constant value. We also find subtle structural differences between the nucleating droplets formed before and after apparent metastable equilibrium has been established.
In recent years statistical physicists have developed {it discrete} particle-hopping models of vehicular traffic, usually formulated in terms of {it cellular automata}, which are similar to the microscopic models of interacting charged particles in t
he presence of an external electric field. Concepts and techniques of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics are being used to understand the nature of the steady states and fluctuations in these so-called microscopic models. In this brief review we explain, primarily to the nonexperts, these models and the physical implications of the results.
We use computer simulation to study the layer-by-layer growth of particle structures in a lattice gas, taking the number of incorporated vacancies as a measure of the quality of the grown structure. By exploiting a dynamic scaling relation between st
ructure quality in and out of equilibrium, we determine that the best quality of structure is obtained, for fixed observation time, with strong interactions and far-from-equilibrium growth conditions. This result contrasts with the usual assumption that weak interactions and mild nonequilibrium conditions are the best way to minimize errors during assembly.
We consider a longitudinal expansion of a one-dimensional gas of hard-core bosons suddenly released from a trap. We show that the broken translational invariance in the initial state of the system is encoded in correlations between the bosonic occupa
tion numbers in the momentum space. The correlations are protected by the integrability and exhibit no relaxation during the expansion.
