• Entropy facilitated active transport 

      Rubi, Miguel; Lervik, Anders; Bedeaux, Dick; Kjelstrup, Signe (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      We show how active transport of ions can be interpreted as an entropy facilitated process. In this interpretation, a particular change in the pore geometry through which substrates are transported gives rise to a driving ...
    • Entropy production beyond the thermodynamic limit from single-molecule stretching simulations 

      Bering, Eivind; Kjelstrup, Signe; Bedeaux, Dick; Rubi, Miguel; de Wijn, Astrid S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Single-molecular systems are a test bed to analyze to what extent thermodynamics applies when the size of the system is drastically reduced. Isometric and isotensional single-molecule stretching experiments and their ...
    • A Legendre–Fenchel Transform for Molecular Stretching Energies 

      Bering, Eivind; Bedeaux, Dick; Kjelstrup, Signe; de Wijn, Astrid S.; Latella, Ivan; Rubi, Miguel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Single-molecular polymers can be used to analyze to what extent thermodynamics applies when the size of the system is drastically reduced. We have recently verified using molecular-dynamics simulations that isometric and ...
    • A Thermodynamic Framework for Stretching Processes in Fiber Materials 

      Arango-Restrepo, Andrès; Rubi, Miguel; Pradhan, Srutarshi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Fiber breakage process involves heat exchange with the medium and energy dissipation in the form of heat, sound, and light, among others. A purely mechanical treatment is therefore in general not enough to provide a complete ...
