The Green–Kubo formula for heat conduction in open systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We obtain an exact Green–Kubo type linear response result for the heat current in an open system. The result is derived for classical Hamiltonian systems coupled to heat baths. Both lattice models and fluid systems are studied and several commonly used implementations of heat baths, stochastic as well as deterministic, are considered. The results are valid in arbitrary dimensions and for any system sizes. Our results are useful for obtaining the linear response transport properties of mesoscopic systems. Also we point out that for systems with anomalous heat transport, as is the case in low-dimensional systems, the use of the standard Green–Kubo formula is problematic and the open system formula should be used.

Strong Evidence of Normal Heat Conduction in a one-Dimensional Quantum System
– We investigate how the normal energy transport is realized in one-dimensional quantum systems using a quantum spin system. The direct investigation of local energy distribution under thermal gradient is made using the quantum master equation, and the mixing properties and the convergence of the Green-Kubo formula are investigated when the number of spin increases. We find that the autocorrela...
متن کاملHeat Transport in low-dimensional systems
Recent results on theoretical studies of heat conduction in low-dimensional systems are presented. These studies are on simple, yet nontrivial, models. Most of these are classical systems, but some quantum-mechanical work is also reported. Much of the work has been on lattice models corresponding to phononic systems, and some on hard particle and hard disc systems. A recently developed approach...
متن کاملEnergy Diffusion in Harmonic System with Conservative Noise
Lattice networks of oscillators have been considered for a long time as good models for studying macroscopic energy trasport and its diffusion, i.e. for obtaining, on a macroscopic space-time scale, heat equation and Fourier law of conduction ([1]). It is well understood that the diffusive behavior of the energy is due to the non-linearity of the interactions, and that purely deterministic harm...
متن کاملEquilibrium Molecular Dynamics Study of Heat Conduction in Octane
Fluids are important components in heat transfer systems. Understanding heat conduction in liquids at the atomic level would allow better design of liquids with specific heat transfer properties. However, heat transfer in molecular chain liquids is a complex interplay between heat transfer within a molecule and between molecules. This thesis studies the contribution of each type of atomic inter...
متن کاملCorrelations and scaling in one-dimensional heat conduction.
We examine numerically the full spatiotemporal correlation functions for all hydrodynamic quantities for the random collision model introduced recently. The autocorrelation function of the heat current, through the Kubo formula, gives a thermal conductivity exponent of 1/3 in agreement with the analytical prediction and previous numerical work. Remarkably, this result depends crucially on the c...
