Comment on ``Theory of Spinodal Decomposition''
I comment on a paper by S. B. Goryachev [PRL vol 72, p.1850 (1994)] that presents a theory of non-equilibrium dynamics for scalar systems quenched into an ordered phase.

Small-scale behaviour in deterministic reaction models [PDF]
In a recent paper published in this journal [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 42 (2009) 495004] we studied a one-dimensional particles system where nearest particles attract with a force inversely proportional to a power \alpha of their distance and coalesce ...

Mesoscopic virial equation for nonequilibrium statistical mechanics
We derive a class of mesoscopic virial equations governing energy partition between conjugate position and momentum variables of individual degrees of freedom.

We study nonequilibrium quantum phase transitions in the XY spin 1/2 chain using the ${{C}^{*}}$ algebra. We show that the well-known quantum phase transition at a magnetic field of h = 1 also persists in the nonequilibrium setting as long as one of the ...

Level 2 and level 2.5 large deviation functionals for systems with and without detailed balance
Large deviation functions are an essential tool in the statistics of rare events. Often they can be obtained by contraction from a so-called level 2 or level 2.5 large deviation functional characterizing the empirical density and current of the ...

Instability, Intermittency and Multiscaling in Discrete Growth Models of Kinetic Roughening
We show by numerical simulations that discretized versions of commonly studied continuum nonlinear growth equations (such as the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation and the Lai-Das Sarma equation) and related atomistic models of epitaxial growth have a generic ...

Currents and fluctuations of quantum heat transport in harmonic chains
Heat transport in open quantum systems is particularly susceptible to the modeling of system–reservoir interactions. It thus requires us to consistently treat the coupling between a quantum system and its environment.

Thermoelectric efficiency of three-terminal quantum thermal machines
The efficiency of a thermal engine working in the linear response regime in a multi-terminal configuration is discussed. For the generic three-terminal case, we provide a general definition of local and non-local transport coefficients: electrical and ...

Stochastic efficiency: five case studies
Stochastic efficiency is evaluated in five case studies: driven Brownian motion, effusion with a thermo-chemical and thermo-velocity gradient, a quantum dot and a model for information to work conversion.
