Mechanical Autonomous Stochastic Heat Engine.
Stochastic heat engines are devices that generate work from random thermal motion using a small number of highly fluctuating degrees of freedom. Proposals for such devices have existed for more than a century and include the Maxwell demon and the Feynman ratchet. Only recently have they been demonstrated experimentally, using, e.g., thermal cycles implemented in optical traps. However, recent e...
متن کاملSingle-ion heat engine at maximum power.
We propose an experimental scheme to realize a nanoheat engine with a single ion. An Otto cycle may be implemented by confining the ion in a linear Paul trap with tapered geometry and coupling it to engineered laser reservoirs. The quantum efficiency at maximum power is analytically determined in various regimes. Moreover, Monte Carlo simulations of the engine are performed that demonstrate its...
متن کاملRealization of a micrometre-sized stochastic heat engine
The conversion of energy into mechanical work is essential for almost any industrial process. The original description of classical heat engines by Sadi Carnot in 1824 has largely shaped our understanding of work and heat exchange during macroscopic thermodynamic processes1. Equipped with our present-day ability to design and control mechanical devices at microand nanometre length scales, we ar...
متن کاملMagnetic Quantum Otto Engine for the Single-Particle Landau Problem
We study the effect of the degeneracy factor in the energy levels of the well-known Landau problem for a magnetic quantum Otto engine. The scheme of the cycle is composed of two quantum adiabatic processes and two quantum isomagnetic processes driven by a quasi-static modulation of external magnetic field intensity. We derive the analytical expression of the relation between the magnetic field ...
