Energy Profile Fluctuations in Dissipative Nonequilibrium Stationary States
نویسنده
چکیده
The exact large deviation function (ldf) for the fluctuations of the energy density field is computed for a chain of Ising (or more generally Potts) spins driven by a zero-temperature (dissipative) Glauber dynamics and sustained in a non trivial stationary regime by an arbitrary energy injection mechanism at the boundary of the system. It is found that this ldf is independent of the dynamical details of the energy injection, and that the energy fluctuations, unlike conservative systems in a nonequilibrium state, are not spatially correlated in the stationary regime.

The Fast Rate Limit of Driven Diffusive Systems
We study the stationary nonequilibrium states of the van Beijeren/Schulman model of a driven lattice gas in two dimensions. In this model, jumps are much faster in the direction of the driving force than orthogonal to it. Van Kampen's O-expansion provides a suitable description of the model in the high-temperature region and specifies the critical temperature and the spinodal curve. We find the...

Nonequilibrium stationary states (NESS) describe the state of a mechanical system driven and maintained out of equilibrium by external forces. The main characteristic of a NESS is that it sustains sustain steady flows or equivalently that it exhibits positive entropy production. We discuss general features of the fluctuations of the entropy production and corresponding flows. The NESS and the e...
متن کاملClausius inequality and optimality of quasistatic transformations for nonequilibrium stationary states.
Nonequilibrium stationary states of thermodynamic systems dissipate a positive amount of energy per unit of time. If we consider transformations of such states that are realized by letting the driving depend on time, the amount of energy dissipated in an unbounded time window then becomes infinite. Following the general proposal by Oono and Paniconi and using results of the macroscopic fluctuat...
متن کاملExact free energy functional for a driven diffusive open stationary nonequilibrium system.
We obtain the exact probability exp[-LF([rho(x)])] of finding a macroscopic density profile rho(x) in the stationary nonequilibrium state of an open driven diffusive system, when the size of the system L-->infinity. F, which plays the role of a nonequilibrium free energy, has a very different structure from that found in the purely diffusive case. As there, F is nonlocal, but the shocks and dyn...
متن کاملFundamental aspects of quantum Brownian motion.
With this work we elaborate on the physics of quantum noise in thermal equilibrium and in stationary nonequilibrium. Starting out from the celebrated quantum fluctuation-dissipation theorem we discuss some important consequences that must hold for open, dissipative quantum systems in thermal equilibrium. The issue of quantum dissipation is exemplified with the fundamental problem of a damped ha...
