RESEARCH INTERESTS AND SELECTED PAPERS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS:

-Equilibrium and non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics The important aim of this work is the application of non-equilibrium thermodynamics to a multitude of new subjects. Important directions followed were the application to mesoscopic systems, quantum systems, the contact line, reacting systems and self-propelling particle systems. An important issue addressed using molecular dynamics was the validity of the local equilibrium assumption in reacting systems.  D. Bedeaux, G.J.M. Koper, I. Ispolatov and B.

Thanks to EU support, this grew into a substantial experimental effort. A book on the theoretical aspects was published in 2002 and a second enlarged edition appeared in 2004. The work we now propose will be a significant extension of this work. This is expected to lead to further extensions of the book in the future.  R. Lazzari, I. Simonsen, D. Bedeaux, J.

-Description of energy, mass and charge transport into and through interfaces in the context of irreversible thermodynamics In the last decade our work, using Gibbs’ excess functions, local equilibrium, balance equations and the second law, has made a description of energy, mass and charge transport into and through interfaces possible using irreversible thermodynamics. In the past five years much work has been done to apply this work and to obtain the relevant transfer coefficients using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics.  A. Røsjorde, D. Bedeaux, S.

-Active transport An important new application of mesoscopic non-equilibrium thermodynamics is the description of active transport. Important issues, like the non-linearity of the kinetic description and the transport of heat, were addressed. This is a very promising line of work.  S. Kjelstrup, J.M. Rubi and D.

-The response of double layers on applied electric fields In this work the double layer is treated using the extension of the general method developed by Gibbs using a time dependent excess polarization. Earlier results could in this way be obtained in a simpler manner. For the dielectric enhancement of colloidal solutions analytic expressions could be given. A systematic comparison with results using available computer software is now being made.  C. Chassagne, D. Bedeaux and G.J.M.
