• Gibbs thermodynamics and surface properties at the nanoscale 

      de Miguel, Rodrigo; Rubi, J. Miguel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Gibbs’s classical thermodynamic framework approximates systems as infinitely large phases separated by infinitely thin surfaces. The range of validity of this classical framework comes naturally under scrutiny as we become ...
    • Statistical Mechanics at Strong Coupling: A Bridge between Landsberg's Energy Levels and Hill's Nanothermodynamics 

      de Miguel, Rodrigo; Rubi, J. Miguel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      We review and show the connection between three different theories proposed for the thermodynamic treatment of systems not obeying the additivity ansatz of classical thermodynamics. In the 1950s, Landsberg proposed that ...
    • Thermodynamics Far From the Thermodynamic Limit 

      de Miguel, Rodrigo; Rubi, J. Miguel (Journal article, 2017)
      Understanding how small systems exchange energy with a heat bath is important to describe how their unique properties can be affected by the environment. In this contribution, we apply Landsberg's theory of temperature-dependent ...
