Model of reversible aggregation: universal features of fluctuating ensembles

摘要

The model of reversible aggregation predicts universal reduced ensemble number or energy distributions described by Γ-functions of different classes, typified by the value of a single parameter, p. The universality of the model is evidenced by the description of ensembles of carbon black and liquids, of defects on the surface of loaded metals and of cells of bacteria and yeast.
