Brownian refrigerator.
Onsager symmetry implies that a Brownian motor, driven by a temperature gradient, will also perform a refrigerator function upon loading. We analytically calculate the corresponding heat flow for an exactly solvable microscopic model and compare it with molecular dynamics simulations.
متن کاملFrom Brownian motor to Brownian refrigerator
Cooling techniques have a significant impact not only on our everyday life but also on the advances in science. We have come a long way from the primitive method of evaporative cooling, which our body conveniently uses when we perspire, over the evaporation by expansion of a cooling liquid in domestic refrigerators, to high-tech methods including laser cooling, magnetic cooling, radiative cooli...
متن کاملAnomalous yet Brownian.
We describe experiments using single-particle tracking in which mean-square displacement is simply proportional to time (Fickian), yet the distribution of displacement probability is not Gaussian as should be expected of a classical random walk but, instead, is decidedly exponential for large displacements, the decay length of the exponential being proportional to the square root of time. The f...
متن کاملNormal-metal-superconductor tunnel junction as a Brownian refrigerator.
Thermal noise generated by a hot resistor (resistance R) can, under proper conditions, catalyze heat removal from a cold normal metal (N) in contact with a superconductor (S) via a tunnel barrier (I). Such a NIS junction is reminiscent of Maxwell's demon, rectifying the heat flow. Upon reversal of the temperature gradient between the resistor and the junction, the heat fluxes are reversed: this...
متن کاملAnomalous velocity distributions in active Brownian suspensions.
Large-scale simulations and analytical theory have been combined to obtain the nonequilibrium velocity distribution, f(v), of randomly accelerated particles in suspension. The simulations are based on an event-driven algorithm, generalized to include friction. They reveal strongly anomalous but largely universal distributions, which are independent of volume fraction and collision processes, wh...
