Thermal Fluctuations of Induced Fermion Number
We analyze the phemomenon of induced fermion number at finite temperature. At finite temperature, the induced fermion number 〈N〉 is a thermal expectation value, and we compute the finite temperature fluctuations, (∆N) = 〈N〉 − 〈N〉. While the zero temperature induced fermion number is topological and is a sharp observable, the finite temperature induced fermion number is generically nontopologica...
متن کاملNegative mobility induced by colored thermal fluctuations.
Anomalous transport of non-Markovian thermal Brownian particle dynamics in spatially periodic symmetric systems that is driven by time-periodic symmetric driving and constant bias is investigated numerically. The Brownian dynamics is modeled by a generalized Langevin equation with exponentially correlated Gaussian thermal noise, obeying the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. We study the role of ...
متن کاملSurface adsorbate fluctuations and noise in nanoelectromechanical systems.
Physisorption on solid surfaces is important in both fundamental studies and technology. Adsorbates can also be critical for the performance of miniature electromechanical resonators and sensors. Advances in resonant nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), particularly mass sensitivity attaining the single-molecule level, make it possible to probe surface physics in a new regime, where a small nu...
متن کاملAbsolute negative mobility induced by thermal equilibrium fluctuations.
A novel transport phenomenon is identified that is induced by inertial Brownian particles which move in simple one-dimensional, symmetric periodic potentials under the influence of both a time periodic and a constant, biasing driving force. Within tailored parameter regimes, thermal equilibrium fluctuations induce the phenomenon of absolute negative mobility (ANM), which means that the particle...
متن کاملFundamental thermal fluctuations in microspheres
The development of modern technology in many fields has led to further miniaturization of components. This makes it necessary to take into account certain fundamental physical limitations. An example of such limitations is the thermodynamical fluctuation of temperature in a small volume. Such fluctuations are transformed into wideband noise in output channels because of the temperature dependen...
