From thermal rectifiers to thermoelectric devices
, 2015 We discuss thermal rectification and thermoelectric energy conversion from the perspective of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and dynamical systems theory. After preliminary considerations on the dynamical foundations of the phenomenological Fourier

Statistical Mechanics of Time Independent Non-Dissipative Nonequilibrium States
, 2007 We examine the question of whether the formal expressions of equilibrium statistical mechanics can be applied to time independent non-dissipative systems that are not in true thermodynamic equilibrium and are nonergodic.

On Statistical Mechanics of Nonequilibrium Fluctuations [PDF]
Progress of Theoretical Physics, 1984 Summary: Without assuming detailed balance, the linear response theory of systems, in which the notation of a quantum dynamical semigroup can be defined, is discussed. This theory is used to prove a fluctuation-dissipation theorem for nonstationary nonequilibrium states.

A Unifying Approach to Self‐Organizing Systems Interacting via Conservation Laws
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.The article develops a unified way to model and analyze self‐organizing systems whose interactions are constrained by conservation laws. It represents physical/biological/engineered networks as graphs and builds projection operators (from incidence/cycle structure) that enforce those constraints and decompose network variables into constrained versus ...

Harnessing Machine Learning to Understand and Design Disordered Solids
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.This review maps the dynamic evolution of machine learning in disordered solids, from structural representations to generative modeling. It explores how deep learning and model explainability transform property prediction into profound physical insight.

Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics
This book covers nonequilibrium statistical physics. Part one, aimed at undergraduates, introduces Langevin equations, general stochastic processes, kinetic theory, fluctuation theory, linear response theory, and stochastic thermodynamics. Part two discusses advanced topics and how to build nonequilibrium stochastic models.

Time-reversal symmetry relations for currents in quantum and stochastic nonequilibrium systems
, 2012 An overview is given of recent advances in the nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of quantum systems and, especially, of time-reversal symmetry relations that have been discovered in this context. The systems considered are driven out of equilibrium by
