Multiscale Thermodynamics: Energy, Entropy, and Symmetry from Atoms to Bulk Behavior

Multiscale Thermodynamics: Energy, Entropy, and Symmetry from Atoms to Bulk Behavior

Here, we investigate how the local properties of particles in a thermal bath may influence the thermodynamics of the bath, and consequently alter the statistical mechanics of subsystems that comprise the bath. We are guided by the theory of small-system thermodynamics, which is based on two primary...
