Optimal processes for probabilistic work extraction beyond the second law
According to the second law of thermodynamics, for every transformation performed on a system which is in contact with an environment of fixed temperature, the average extracted work is bounded by the decrease of the free energy of the system. However, in a single realization of a generic process, the extracted work is subject to statistical fluctuations which may allow for probabilistic violat...
متن کاملThe difference electron density: a probabilistic reformulation.
The joint probability distribution function P(E, E(p)), where E and E(p) are the normalized structure factors of the target and of a model structure, respectively, is a fundamental tool in crystallographic methods devoted to crystal structure solution. It plays a central role in any attempt for improving phase estimates from a given structure model. More recently the difference electron density...
متن کاملSingle-Electron Device Simulation
A three-dimensional (3-D) simulator is presented which uses a linear-response approach to simulate the conductance of semiconductor single-electron transistors at the solid-state level. The many-particle groundstate of the quantum dot, weakly connected to the drain and the source reservoir, is evaluated in a self-consistent manner including quantum-mechanical many-body interactions. A transfer-...
متن کاملSingle - Electron Device ( SED )
The research on single-electron devices (SEDs) [1] has already spanned a long history. It started with metal or superconductors in the late 80s [2, 3] and then expanded to semiconductors [4-6] in the 90s. Room-temperature operating silicon based devices [7-9] activated the research from the viewpoints of LSI application, and there have been many studies focusing on both device fabrication and c...
متن کاملDirect calculation of the solid-liquid Gibbs free energy difference in a single equilibrium simulation.
Computing phase diagrams of model systems is an essential part of computational condensed matter physics. In this paper, we discuss in detail the interface pinning (IP) method for calculation of the Gibbs free energy difference between a solid and a liquid. This is done in a single equilibrium simulation by applying a harmonic field that biases the system towards two-phase configurations. The G...
