Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Ion Flux through Membrane Channels

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
Ion flux through membrane channels is passively driven by the electrochemical potential differences across the cell membrane. Nonequilibrium thermodynamics has been successful in explaining transport mechanisms, including the ion transport phenomenon ...

Current‐Driven Nonreciprocal Response of Nonequilibrium Skyrmions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A skyrmion holds great promise for spintronic applications owing to its intrinsic topological stability and high mobility under ultra‐low current excitation. Here, by means of in situ electron microscopy, we demonstrate a skyrmion diode effect and the associated current‐driven nonreciprocal skyrmion dynamics in a designed FeGe‐based microdevice.

Gibbs entropy and irreversible thermodynamics

open access: yes, 1999
Recently a number of approaches has been developed to connect the microscopic dynamics of particle systems to the macroscopic properties of systems in nonequilibrium stationary states, via the theory of dynamical systems.

Photoresponsive Rotaxanes Switch Lipid Bilayer Neuromorphic Behavior with Light

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A rotaxane consisting of a macrocycle ring with two azobenzene units mechanically interlocked onto an amphiphilic axle was incorporated into droplet interface bilayers (DIBs). Photoswitching between the azobenzene configurations on the ring resulted in cycling between memristive and memcapacitive behaviors in lipid bilayers, enabling programmable ...

Universal Foundations of Thermodynamics: Entropy and Energy Beyond Equilibrium and Without Extensivity

open access: yesEntropy
Thermodynamics is commonly presented as a theory of macroscopic systems in stable equilibrium, built upon assumptions of extensivity and scaling with system size.

Stochastic Thermodynamics of Nonlinear Electronic Circuits: A Realistic Framework for Computing Around kT

open access: yesPhysical Review X, 2021
We provide a general theory of nonlinear electronic circuits subjected to thermal noise. The devices constituting the circuit can have arbitrary I-V curves but must display shot noise. This theory includes tunnel junctions, diodes, and MOS transistors in

Advancing Energy Materials by In Situ Atomic Scale Methods

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 11, March 18, 2025.
Progress in in situ atomic scale methods leads to an improved understanding of new and advanced energy materials, where a local understanding of complex, inhomogeneous systems or interfaces down to the atomic scale and quantum level is required. Topics from photovoltaics, dissipation losses, phase transitions, and chemical energy conversion are ...

Nonequilibrium Temperature and Thermometry in Heat-Conducting Phi-4 Models

open access: yes, 2008
We analyze temperature and thermometry for simple nonequilibrium heat-conducting models. We show in detail, for both two- and three-dimensional systems, that the ideal gas thermometer corresponds to the concept of a local instantaneous mechanical kinetic

From Materials to Systems: Challenges and Solutions for Fast‐Charge/Discharge Na‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This review systematically analyzes the key characteristics limiting the fast‐charge/discharge capability of Na‐ion batteries (SIBs) from a multi‐scale perspective encompassing electrode materials, the electrode‐electrolyte interface, and the system. Furthermore, it presents practical solution strategies for the fundamental issues arising at each scale,
