Structural dynamics of a metal-organic framework induced by CO2 migration in its non-uniform porous structure.

abstract：:It is known that temperature estimates of macroscopic systems in equilibrium are most precise when their energy fluctuations are large. However, for nanoscale systems deviations from standard thermodynamics arise due to their interactions with the environment. Here we include such interactions and, using quantum estim...
