Abstract The masses of pion and sigma meson modes, along with their dissociation in the quark medium, provide detailed spectral structures of the chiral partners. One has seen collectivity in pA and pp systems both at LHC and RHIC. In this article, we study the restoration of chiral symmetry by investigating the finite size effect on the detailed structure of the chiral partners in the framework of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. Their diffusions and conductions have been studied through this dissociation mechanism. It is found that the masses, widths, diffusion coefficients, conductivities of chiral partners merge at different temperatures in the restoration phase of chiral symmetry. However, merging points are shifted to lower temperatures when one introduces the finite size effect into the picture. The strengths of diffusions and conductions are also reduced once the finite size is introduced in the calculations.

AbstractThis study evaluates the finite size effect on the oxygen adsorption energy of coinage metal (Cu, Ag and Au) cuboctahedral nanoparticles in the size range of 13 to 1415 atoms (0.7–3.5 nm in diameter). Trends in particle size effects are well described with single point calculations, in which the metal atoms are frozen in their bulk position and the oxygen atom is added in a location determined from periodic surface calculations. This is shown explicitly for Cu nanoparticles, for which full geometry optimization only leads to a constant offset between relaxed and unrelaxed adsorption energies that is independent of particle size. With increasing cluster size, the adsorption energy converges systematically to the limit of the (211) extended surface. The 55-atomic cluster is an outlier for all of the coinage metals and all three materials show similar behavior with respect to particle size. Graphic Abstract

Mass transport coefficients play an important role in process design and in compositional grading of oil reservoirs. As experimental measurements of these properties can be costly and hazardous, Molecular Dynamics simulations emerge as an alternative approach. In this work, we used Molecular Dynamics to calculate the self-diffusion coefficients of methane/n-hexane mixtures at different conditions, in both liquid and supercritical phases. We evaluated how the finite box size and the choice of the force field affect the calculated properties at high pressures. Results show a strong dependency between self-diffusion and the simulation box size. The Yeh-Hummer analytical correction [J. Phys. Chem. B, 108, 15873 (2004)] can attenuate this effect, but sometimes makes the results depart from experimental data due to issues concerning the force fields. We have also found that different all-atom and united-atom models can produce biased results due to caging effects and to different dihedral configurations of the n-alkane.
