In this study, a generalized method based upon nonextensive statistics is presented for nucleation and growth processes in a thin layer between two interfaces. It is shown that the presented mathematical model, which uses an index called the entropic index that measures the nonextensivity of the...

Neutron diffraction measurements have been made for D2O water in the confined geometry of various mesoporous silicas over a wide temperature range. The data have been taken for cooling and heating runs incorporating the nucleation and melting of the crystalline phases and the super-cooled liquid...

The locust is a kind of grasshoppers. Gregarious locusts form swarms and can migrate over large distances and they spread and damage a large area (locust outbreak). When the density is low, each of locusts behaves as an individual insect (solitary phase). As locusts become crowded, they become...

Analysis of a model for fast spinodal decomposition controlled by diffusion is proposed. Using the concept of fast phase separation, an interpretation of a purely non-equilibrium contribution to the entropy of a spinodally decomposing system is given in terms of multi-component fluids and of...

We discuss the role of the initial conditions for the dynamical anomalies observed in the quasi-stationary states of the Hamiltonian mean field (HMF) model.

We consider a monoparametric family of reaction–diffusion equations endowed with both a nonlinear diffusion term and a nonlinear reaction one that possess exact time-dependent particular solutions of the Tsallis’ maximum entropy (MaxEnt) form. The evolution of these solutions is governed by...

In this study, the dependence of fourth-rank order parameter on second-rank order parameter for para-azoxyanisole is investigated by using Tsallis statistics. Also, orientational distribution function is studied within Tsallis thermostatistics using the maximum entropy method, and the...

Bacry [Phys. Lett. B 317 (1993) 523] showed that, on the basis of the deformed Poincaré group, special relativity yields a non-additive energy for large systems, i.e., a total energy (of the Universe) which would not be proportional to the number of particles. He consistently argued that this...

With regards to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation recently advanced by Nobre, Rego-Monteiro, and Tsallis (NRT), based on Tsallis q-thermo-statistical formalism, we investigate the existence and properties of its quasi-stationary solutions, which have the time and space dependences...
