The Relation Between Dissipation and Memory in Two‐Fluid Displacements in Disordered Media
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 We show that the return‐point memory of cyclic macroscopic trajectories enables the derivation of a thermodynamic framework for quasistatically driven dissipative systems with multiple metastable states. We use this framework to sort out and quantify the

THERMODYNAMIC MODEL OF CAPITAL EXTRACTION IN ECONOMIC SYSTEMS [PDF]
Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems, 2005 In this paper the properties of the wealth function of an economic system are studied. An economic analog of the Gibbs-Duhem equation is derived. Equilibrium states and limiting profit extraction regimes in non-equilibrium economic systems are obtained ...

Ferroelectricity and Ferroionic Dynamics in Two‐Dimensional CuInP2S6
Information &Functional Materials, EarlyView.The coupled dynamics of ferroelectric polarization and Cu‐ion migration endow CuInP2S6 with unique ferroionic functionalities. This review connects structure, switching mechanisms, and device applications to provide a unified perspective on two‐dimensional ferroionic materials.

Hierarchy of Relaxation Times and Residual Entropy: A Nonequilibrium Approach
Entropy, 2018 We consider nonequilibrium (NEQ) states such as supercooled liquids and glasses that are described with the use of internal variables. We classify the latter by the state-dependent hierarchy of relaxation times to assess their relevance for irreversible ...
